Material
- 1 Crochet ball of yarn in the color of your preference;
- 1 crochet hook 11mm.
Performance
This edging is done vertically, this means that the amount of rows made does not build the height of the edging but the width of the same. Therefore, you will adjust the number of rows corresponding to the measure of towel, napkin, or cloth of dish.
As mentioned earlier, the edging is done separately. Thus, you must measure the edging in the piece throughout the process so that it does not have to dismantle anything after.
Regarding the points, chains and double crochet are used. For you to follow the chart, it is necessary to read each blank square as two double crochet separated by two chains.
The dark square corresponds to two double crochet within the separation chains or above the foundation double crochet.
When finished, make a single crochet in the edging and amend the crochet work in the border with rings made by chains stitches. At the end of this work, you will have a beautiful Christmas crochet edging in a few hours for your home.
