Crocheted Edging Pattern #12

Remember that you need a crochet thread of a size, texture, lustre, and color or shaded color right for the purpose. The thread should be of a quality to wear so that it will not break and make your work valueless. The color must be Boilfast so that innumerable washings will not fade it. These necessities to good work are found in both Clark's O.N.T. and J. & P. Coats Threads.

Mercerized Crochet is made in sizes 1 to 100 in white, and 1 to 70 in ecru; Boilfast colors in sizes 30 and 50. Size 1 is the coarsest, 100 the finest.

Make ch length desired. 1st row: work 1 s c in each st of foundation ch, ch 5 and turn. 2d row: 1 s c in every 3d s c of preceding row, 3 ch between, ch 5 and turn. 3rd row: Make another row of same loops, working s c in loops of 2d row. 4th row: 4 s c in each loop.
