Edging lace 3
crown lace
Edging laces are very common among women's dresses all over the world. Among women, it is a fashion that cannot be stopped. From one generation to the next generation it inherits from mothers to daughters or grandmothers to granddaughters.
It will add a feminine look to the women's wear. Most ladies buy machine knitted laces. But they are not much expensive than crocheted things. It is very expensive if it is a handmade crocheted item. So, there is a good market for you if you learn crocheting.
Not only women's wear there are so many places you can attach these. Where there are edges you can attach these and can get a nice finishing.
So, what are the places where you can add an edging lace?
Edges of bed sheets, pillowcases, baby blankets, baby frocks, hems of skirts, blouses, table cloths, around the sleeves, and necks of frocks.
There are so many designs of edging laces, very fine, thin laces which are crocheted by fine threads. Sometimes, broader ones are crocheted with thicker yarns.
I have given written instructions for this vintage edging lace and there is a video directing you to another one.

How to add the lace to an edge.
For this purpose we have to crochet a long chain, joining the loops of ch7 . First, join the same colour yarn to the beginning loop with a knot and an sc. Then make 7 ch and join to the next loop with single crochet. Continue to the end of loops.
