Crochet ARC LACE Edging #1
79
I originally intended to create a crochet cloth with circular pattern similar to Catherine Wheels yet bigger and lacier in effect. To my dismay, my problem-solving skills is not enough to make such pattern come to life.
So instead of a crochet cloth, I used the initial pattern I made for a lace edging. The great thing about this lace edging is that each arc is crocheted one after the other. Therefore, gauge and foundation chain are not very important. I can crochet any number of arcs until I have the length I desire.
This lace edging is perfect as a trim for blankets, afghans, throws, curtains, dresses, etc. to name a few.

NOTES
I wrote two patterns for this arc. The first option is when you want to sew it onto an edge, while the second option is when you want to crochet it directly on an edge.
The photos I have here shows the first option only for I don't have any edge yet that I want to crochet this with. (I've got to think of one.)

Row 3: Sk 1st dc, (2dc in ch-1 sp, 1 dc in hdc) 6x, 2 dc in last ch-1 sp, sk 2 foundation chains, sl st the last 3 ch, TURN.

This is a very pretty edging.
Thank you Patrice. I haven't had the chance to actually use it. I'm still thinking what to do with it. ",)
This is a cool pattern, Moira! I like that you add to the foundation chain after you create each arc. Will bookmark the hub so I have it if I ever have need for this kind of crochet edging. Rated up and useful!!
