This edging from an 1884 lady’s journal starts with just 7 stitches, increases to 13 stitches over 7 rows, then returns to 7 stitches on the 8th row. The large eyelets are formed by double yarn overs on one row, then 3 stitches are made out of the double yarn overs on the following row. (It’s not that hard.)

This lace trim is narrow enough to be blocking either straight or curved.

Skills needed: cast on, slip purl-wise, knit, purl, yarn over, double yarn over, purl-knit-purl in double yarn over, k2tog and bind off.

Getting an rxact gauge is not important in this pattern. Any blockable yarn/thread will work. Make a swatch to check gauge and appearance.

18 yards of #10 crochet cotton thread will make 10 inches of this trim at gauge.
