Edging #8123 pg. 10

This edging doe not stand alone. It was intended to be joined as it was tatted to cloth or to another lace piece. The original is shown attached to a cord which might have been tatted, crocheted or another medium.

If you intend to use this as an edging for a hanky or doily, it is suggested that you tat it first and then sew it to the cloth. The tatting will long outlast any cloth. For ease in working, make a shuttle lock join around or bring just the thread around a large pin or knitting stitch holder. When the pin is removed there will be a space of thread like a picot which may be used to sew down the edging



R 6 - 6 clr dnrw; CH 6 - 1 - 1 - 6 dnrw.

Since there is no reverse work, consider tatting the chain in RODS, reverse order double stitch. RODS = second half stitch followed by first half stitch.
