I have been interested in crochet edgings for the past couple months. I wanted also to start making seasonal kitchen towels. I love the change of seasons and it makes me happy to have pretty things that change with the seasons too.
I made the edgings one day with some cotton thread I had on hand. I made up the pattern as I went. I chained a bunch of chains, then single crocheted in all of the chains. Then I double crocheted 3 times in one SC then chained 1 (I think), skipped two SCs and did 3DCs in the next SC, chained 1 and skipped 2 SC and did 3DC in the next SC. I did that all the way to the end. Then I chained 2 and turned. I did 3 DCs in each space on the row below, chaining 1 before moving to the next hole.
I made the towels myself with some homespun cotton fabric. Then I sewed the edging on the bottom of the towel with a zig zag stitch.
They are so pretty. I might not have the courage to use them.
