This linen lace trim is based on the needle lace from the third, fifteenth-century bra found in the Lengberg castle vault in eastern Austria. The original is a narrow strip of lace between the front and shoulder strap of the bra. I added the garter sawtooth border to allow this trim to be attached as a border on table linens, cloth, or garments. I have added one selvedge stitch on the right side, the side to be applied to a cloth or other item. I suggest working each of these rightmost stitches at the beginning of the row, but slipping the first stitch of every wrong-side row purlwise with yarn in front. I also specify a different increase. Instead of the traditional knit front and back, I opted for a purl front and back in order to maintain the garter-stitch edging. Enjoy!
