Dillmont's Encyclopedia of Needlework is a treasure I inherited from my grandmother in 1989. I never knew that there were so many aspects to needlework. I finally discovered that I was really good at something. This was my introduction into whole new world. Until then reading was my only hobby. Last year, I happened upon Split Ring Tatting. I realised even if I learn about needlework to my dying day, there would still be a lot of things I'd never even heard about.

Motif # 11- Hanky Edging
This edging is my motif #11.
Here are the instructions:
Using ball & shutle thread,
Insert a steel crochet hook through the edge of the hanky, pull the ball thread through the fabric.
* Pass the shuttle thread through the loop and tighten the loop. Now work a ch of 4 ds, 3 p sep by 2 ds, 4 ds.
Insert the hook through the edge of the fabric at a distance of about 3/4 cm in such a way the chain forms a small acrh and pull the ball thread throughthe fabric using a crochet hook as before. Rep from * and work around the hanky.
