🌿 Pattern Overview
This edging is worked:
- Along the edge of finished fabric
-
Built in 2 main steps:
- Base row (foundation edge)
- Decorative lace (fans + chains)
👉 Edging is a finishing technique that adds elegance and a polished look to crochet projects
✨ STEP 1: Attach Yarn
- Join yarn at any edge corner or side
- Ch 1
✨ STEP 2: Base Row (Important Foundation)
👉 This row makes everything neat and even
-
Work 1 sc evenly along the edge
- Into each stitch (top edge)
- Along sides: place stitches evenly
-
At corners:
- Work (sc, ch 2, sc) in same stitch
- Continue all around
- Join with sl st
✔ This creates a clean base for the edging
✨ STEP 3: Create Chain Spaces
- Ch 3 (counts as dc)
- Skip 1 stitch
-
In next stitch:
- 1 dc
- ch 2
- 1 dc (V-stitch)
- Skip 1 stitch
- Repeat across
-
At corners:
- (dc, ch 2, dc, ch 2, dc)
✔ Now you have open spaces (arches)
✨ STEP 4: Create Decorative Fans (Main Beauty Row)
👉 This is the key design
- Slip stitch into first chain space
-
In each ch-2 space:
- 5 dc (fan/shell shape)
👉 A shell = multiple dc in one space, creating a curved edge
-
Between fans:
- sc into next dc
- Repeat across entire edge
✔ You now see beautiful scalloped edging
✨ STEP 5: Add Chain Loops (Lace Effect)
- Ch 1
-
Between each fan:
- sc
- ch 3
- Repeat around
✔ This adds a light lace texture
✨ STEP 6: Optional Picot Detail (Extra Decorative)
👉 If shown in video (common in this style)
-
After sc:
- ch 3
- sl st into first chain (picot)
-
Continue:
- sc between fans
✔ This creates tiny decorative points
✂️ FINISHING
- Slip stitch to close
- Cut yarn
- Pull through
- Weave in ends
💡 Tips for Perfect Edging
- Keep stitches evenly spaced on edges
- Don’t pull too tight (important for lace shape)
- Always place extra stitches at corners
- Blocking helps the scallops open beautifully
