Crochet Lace Edging

A crochet lace edging is often just the thing for finishing off an otherwise plain item.

Below are free instructions for 3 pretty lace edging patterns. All of the patterns can be worked onto a base row of any plain stitch. The ones i have made up for the photos use a base row of double crochet (UK trebles)
