Bring a touch of Victorian refinement to many different projects, including tablecloths, cloth napkins, pillow cases, nightgowns, blouses, shelf edges, table runners, cuffs and more, using this vintage edging pattern to handcraft exquisite embellishments.
 
This pattern is a rework of the crochet pattern for the edging illustrated in The Art of Crochet, published in 1891, which is a public domain work. I have rewritten this pattern during the process of thorough testing, using modern crochet terminology, instructions and pattern formatting, as well as correcting errors and omissions, providing clarifications and making adjustments as necessary. All of this in order to make the pattern easier for modern crocheters to understand, so that they may create this exquisite vintage edging themselves and help ensure that this pattern lives on.
