like all these edge patterns
I absolutely love the variations in edging! I cannot wait to give them a try in many ongoing projects I have. Thanks so much for the info!
Love these edgings, most I have never seen before. Definitly will be trying some on new projects and dressing up some (I thought) finished projects!! Thank you so much for sharing.
Great Ideas
These edgings will add that extra wow factor to any work. Love them all to bits, thank you so much for the patterns
Love these designs, it will definitely help me up my game, and not just stick to my two or three old favourites. Although, I won’t be dropping my candy cane border, I love that too much.
Love the edgings shown, I am a beginner and didn’t know how to do any of them. I donate my baby/child hats and little blankets from my Church to Pregnancy Resources. I also make and donate cancer patient hats from my Church. I taught my granddaughter how to crochet and she will love watching and learning how to do some of these for my great grandchildren and for her friends children.
I appreciate you posting these so I can watch and learn more. I did the wave fan on a baby blanket I learned how to do and it really makes a difference. It was hard to do the boarder around the blanket first but I finally figured it out and added the fan edge and it looks so pretty. Thank you so much.
These are all so beautiful. I’ve just finished a baby Afghan and have been looking for different edgings. I cannot believe I found them. Thank you so much.
