This tiny edging is from Weldon’s Practical Needlework, Volume 10 from 1898. With just 7 stitches to start and 4 pattern rows, this edging will work up quickly and give a delicate touch to any item. It can be blocked curved or straight. I altered the selvage stitch for easier sewing later.
The sample is 1 inch at its widest at gauge but any gauge will work.

Skills needed: cast on, slip, knit, purl, yarn over, yarn over twice, k2tog, p2tog and bind off in knit stitch.

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

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