Decorative Edging Pattern #8562

MATERIALS:
Try color for these lovely edgings! On collars and cuffs, on guest towels or linens a gay note is new and smart. We suggest thread in sizes 10 to 50.

Easy to tack, sew or glue – these crisp edgings add finish to lamps, dressing tables or scrap baskets. Adapted to fashions, too!

Two-color edging—suggest Pink and Brown.
     With first color, make a chain slightly longer than desired length. 1st row: D c in 5th ch from hook, * ch 1, skip 1 ch, d c in next ch. Repeat from * across, turn (number of sps should be divisible by 6, plus 3). 2nd row: Sl st in 1st sp, ch 3, 4 d c in same sp, skip 1 sp, 5 d c in next sp, * skip 1 sp, d c in next d c, ch 1, d c in next d c, skip 1 sp, 5 d c in next sp, skip 1 sp, 5 d c in next sp. Repeat from * across. 3rd row: Ch 3, make a cluster by making a d c in each of next 4 d c, always retaining the last loop of each d c on hook, thread over and draw through all loops on hook. Ch 9, d c in next 5 d c, retaining the last loop of each d c on hook; thread over and draw through all loops on hook (cluster). * Ch 3, cluster over next 5-d c group, ch 9, cluster over next 5-d c group. Repeat from * across, ending with ch 1. Fasten off. 4th row: Join second color at top of cluster, s c in same place as joining, * 15 d c in next loop, s c in next sp. Repeat from *, ending with s c in top of last cluster.
