Tatted Edging

I found this tatting chart on my journey through pinterest. It struck me as a simple edging that could be used for a variety of projects. I would probably use this to highlight the arms of a knitted garment as it is quite complex and would match a knit very well. I feel the design is a little too heavy for a light object such as a handkerchief.

I wrote down a pattern from the chart in case anyone prefers reading their projects through. I would reccomend this edging if your looking for something to accent a heavy garment or household covering.

I hope you give this a go and please visit the designer’s blog here.She seemed to have more patterns. Stay Awesome
