That is an excellent skill to learn! A Crocheted Lace Strip<\/strong> (also known as edging or border trim) is incredibly versatile, perfect for adding a decorative finish to towels, pillowcases, curtains, blankets, or even clothing hems.1<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best patterns for strips use a repeating motif<\/strong> and have a clean anchor edge that makes attachment easy. I will detail the Vintage Fan and Picot Lace Strip<\/strong>, which is elegant, easy to repeat, and perfect for straight edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf80 Vintage Fan and Picot Lace Strip Tutorial<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This pattern uses the double crochet (DC) shell to create a fan or scallop shape, finished with delicate picots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Materials You’ll Need<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Project:<\/strong> Your item (fabric edge, blanket edge, etc.) ready for the border.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Yarn\/Thread:<\/strong> Use fine Cotton Thread (Size 10 or 20)<\/strong> for fabric edges, or Fingering\/Sport Weight Yarn<\/strong> for a blanket border.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Crochet Hook:<\/strong> A size appropriate for your thread\/yarn (e.g., 1.75 mm or 3.5 mm).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Scissors, Tapestry Needle.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Foundation: The Anchor Row (Crucial!)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    This row creates a stable foundation for the lace to attach to and ensures the correct stitch count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Preparation Round (Attachment):<\/strong> If attaching to a fabric edge, use a very small hook to work single crochet stitches along the fabric hem. If attaching to a crocheted\/knitted edge, work a round of sc<\/strong> evenly along the edge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Count Check:<\/strong> The repeat for this lace pattern is 6 stitches<\/strong>. Therefore, the total number of single crochet stitches along the edge should ideally be a multiple of 6 + 1<\/strong>. Adjust the last few stitches if necessary to meet this count.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Join with a sl st<\/strong> to the first sc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

      Part 1: Creating the Repeating Lace Strip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      We will work in rows back and forth along the edge you wish to trim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Row 1: Establishing the Anchor Mesh<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      This row creates the base loops that the scallops will sit into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. ch 1<\/strong> (does not count as st). sc<\/strong> in the same st.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Anchor Mesh:<\/strong> ch 3<\/strong>, skip 2 stitches<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Repeat:<\/strong> [sc in the next st, ch 3, skip 2 sts]<\/strong> across the entire edge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Finish:<\/strong> Work the last sc into the final stitch of the edge (which should be the +1 from your count check). ch 1<\/strong> and turn.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Row 2: Building the Fan Shells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        We work the shells into the ch-3 loops created in the previous row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. sc<\/strong> in the first sc stitch (anchors the round).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Fan Shell:<\/strong> Work [5 dc]<\/strong> into the next ch-3 loop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Anchor:<\/strong> Work sc<\/strong> into the next sc stitch (the anchor point).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. Repeat:<\/strong> [5 dc Shell into the next ch-3 loop, sc in the next sc anchor]<\/strong> across the entire edge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        5. Finish:<\/strong> Work the last sc into the final sc stitch. ch 1<\/strong> and turn.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Row 3: Adding the Picot Detail (Finishing Row)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          This row adds the decorative picot points and finishes the lace strip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. sc<\/strong> in the first sc stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Sl st<\/strong> into the next 2 dc stitches<\/strong> of the shell (to move to the peak).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Petal Point:<\/strong> Work sc<\/strong> in the 3rd dc (the center of the 5-dc shell).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          4. Work a Picot<\/strong> (ch 3, sl st into the first ch).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          5. Descent:<\/strong> Work sc<\/strong> in the next sc anchor<\/strong> between the shells.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          6. Repeat:<\/strong> Continue the sequence [sl st over the next 2 dc, sc in the center of the shell, Picot, sc in the sc anchor between the shells]<\/strong> across the entire edge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          7. Finish:<\/strong> End with an sc<\/strong> in the final sc stitch. Fasten off.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Final Step: Blocking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            Blocking is highly recommended<\/strong> for lace strips to ensure they lie perfectly flat and straight, and that the picots are clearly defined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Wet:<\/strong> Dampen the lace strip (or the entire project border).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Pin:<\/strong> Pin the strip tautly and straight along its entire length to a mat or towel. Pin the little picot points outwards for the best effect.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. Dry:<\/strong> Allow the lace to dry completely before removing the pins.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
