Crochet inlay for wedding handkerchief

#1

[COLOR=Blue]Hello all!

I have been asked to do the edging for a wedding handkerchief. I really love the ones that have a corner crochet lace pattern. Has anyone done one of these? Could you share the pattern?
Thank you!

You can browse through some antique patterns here. It’s kind of annoying though because you have to open the PDF to see inside.You can do ctrl+f and type keywords though so you can find one with at least some edgings in it.I found a really nice hankie edging for a new lamp that way :slight_smile: I would try a library near you too.They tend to have older books with fancy edgings on them and they’re easier to see than the scanned pdf.

Thank you for the link :cheering: . I will hopefully have time today to peruse the list.

Have you thought of browsing a couple of edging books. If you Google edging patterns you will find some nice sites with vintage patterns.

Here’s one I saw quickly that is the corners.

Thanks Jan! I did print a few off of the crochetpatterncentral.com site. I have been experimenting on a package of men’s hankies. This is fun! :woot:
