    Step-by-Step Crochet Lace Edging Tutorial<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    Step 1 \u2014 Create the Base Edge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    This edging is crocheted along the edge of an already finished piece<\/strong> (fabric or crochet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Attach yarn to the edge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Chain 1<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Make single crochet (sc)<\/strong> along the entire edge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Keep stitches evenly spaced.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      This creates the foundation row<\/strong> for the lace edging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Turn the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      Row 2 \u2014 Chain Arch Row<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Chain 5<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Skip 2 stitches<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Make 1 single crochet (sc)<\/strong> in the next stitch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Repeat across the edge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        ch5 \u2192 skip 2 stitches \u2192 sc<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        This creates large chain loops<\/strong> which will hold the decorative stitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Turn work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n

        Row 3 \u2014 Begin Shell Pattern<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

        Move into the first chain loop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Slip stitch into the first chain space<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Chain 3<\/strong> (counts as first dc).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. In the same chain space crochet:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • 4 dc<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Total = 5 dc shell<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Chain 2<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Move to the next chain loop and repeat:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • 5 dc<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • ch2<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                Repeat this across all loops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Now you will see fan \/ shell shapes forming along the edge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Turn work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Row 4 \u2014 Decorative Lace Row<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                1. Chain 1<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. In the top of the shell stitches make:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • 1 single crochet in each stitch<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    1. Between shells add:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                        \n
                      • ch3 picot (optional)<\/strong> for decoration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                        This row stabilizes the lace border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \n\n\n\n

                        Repeat Pattern<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

                        Continue repeating the shell structure across the entire edge until the border is finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \n\n\n\n

                        Finished Lace Border<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

                        The result is a soft scalloped lace edging<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        You can use this border for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \n
                        • Shawls<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • Blankets<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • Clothing edges<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • Towels<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • Tablecloths<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                          Crochet borders like this are popular because chains create open lace while shells form decorative scallops<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
