In this free eBook you will discover seven crochet trims and edgings that will perfectly finish your next crochet project. Crochet edgings like the picot stitch and reverse single crochet smooth edges without adding significant length or width. Designs like the Tiered Offset Shells and Loopy Edging add an eye-catching design and additional length, while the corkscrews and flowers of the Zig-Zag Scarf and Sprout Chains Shawlette are fun and have great movement.

The Reverse Single Crochet and Picot stitch create the perfect trim for garments, accessories, and afghans. These simple stitches easily smooth uneven row ends and produce a subtle edging to give your completed piece a polished finish. The reverse single crochet edging is a textured trim with a soft feel. The picot crochet trim is a delicate edging that can be worked in a single row.

The Loopy Edging by Victoria Hewerdine Thornton is a simple as the chain stitch, but these intertwining loops are a delicate lace crochet edging that is perfect for putting the finishing touch on dresses and other garments. Add more visual interest by working this crochet lace trim in a variegated yarn.

The Tiered Offset Shells in Rows by Kristin Omdahl is created with layers of shells and delicate picots. Reminiscent of the crocodile stitch, this crochet edging is perfect for everything from hats, cowls, and shawls to cardigans and afghans. This eye-catching trim is the perfect addition to a simple baby afghan.

The Zig-Zag Scarf by Judith Swatrz is a colorful chevron scarf with a fun corkscrew edging. These dramatic spirals are the ideal trim for scarves, afghans, and other funky accessories. Tailor this crochet edging to work the desired number of crochet corkscrews along the edge of your project.

The Swannanoa Skirt by Natasha Robarge proves that crochet trims aren’t just for the hem or edge of a project. This skirt is easily modified by adding additional stripes and rows of crochet lace trim or simply enhance the skirt with layers of this lattice edging at the hem.

The long chain and solo single crochet stitch pattern featured in the Sprout Chains Shawlette by Kristin Omdahl is beautifully finished with a dainty trim of crochet flowers. This edging of crochet chains and flowers is worked in a single row not as separate motifs. This crochet trim’s beautiful drape is perfect for shawls and accessories.
