This charming, reversible edging has only 4 pattern rows and starts with just 15 stitches! This edging had no image in 1889 Weldon’s Practical Needlework, Volume 2, so the results were a surprise! I changed the header’s first stitch to ease sewing later. The edging will lie flat when sewn to a curved edge. If sewn to a straight edge, the edging will gently ruffle which is also a nice look.
Skills needed: long-tail cast on, knit, purl, slip, yarn over, yarn over twice, knit 2 together and bind off in knit stitch.

Gauge is not important in this pattern. Any block-able yarn/thread will work. Make a swatch to check size and appearance.

8 yards of #10 cotton crochet thread will make 12 rows (1 inch) of edging in the stated gauge.
