Edging Worked in One Pass © Jane Eborall – 2005

 

 

Click for full size

 

This edging is worked in one piece.  No second row needed to achieve a deep and pretty edging which measures 1 ½” when worked in no. 20 thread.  I used Finca Bollilos thread for the above and it worked out to be 1 ¼”.  Please note - this pattern includes a join which I've called the continuous thread join.

 

Skills required.  Split rings, rings on chains and rings on split rings.   The continuous thread join is shown and explained below.

Making the CTJ - continuous thread join

Using a hook, take Sh1 thread under and up through the last very small picot of side 1.  Push Sh2 through the loop and gently tighten.

Continue through all the picots on this side of the SR.

 

Please note that the sections vary slightly as alternate ones have a ring on the chain to which following chains join.
