Crochet Edges

Crochet edges add the finishing touches to your work. You can also make up crocheted edgings to stitch onto fabric items such as tablecloths.

You can use fancy edgings or if you just want to give a neat and firm edge to an item you can simply work a row of single crochet (UK double crochet) or a row of crab stitch which is simply single crochet worked backwards

Below are a list you can click on for free instructions.

Curlicue edging - pretty ringlets which are deceptively easy to work.

Picot edgings - simple and neat, these add interest without being too fussy.

Crab stitch - gives a firm edge with a look of overcasting braid
