Tutorial on how to figure out making a lace edging for a pillow using the Crocodile Stitch.

My nephew, Cody, was getting married and my sister asked if I would make the ring bearer pillow. I really wanted to crochet a lace edging for it but didn’t want it to be just any lacy edging. After some thought, I decided to see if I could use the crocodile stitch to make the edging. Once I’d decided to use the crocodile stitch as the “lace” around the ring bearer’s pillow for my nephew’s wedding, I had to figure out the number of repeats I would need. It took me a little bit of time to figure out but as soon as I realized how the corner needed to be worked, then the rest was easy.
