Crochet handkerchief edging?
#1
Good Morning all,
I have had a special request to do the edging on my niece's wedding handkerchief. I do a bit of crocheting but am having trouble finding just the right pattern. Any ideas from this creative group? Thank you so much!

Hi Lisa,
Thanks! :)
I did find that site.. beautiful patterns. I guess I am looking for "how to start" lol. I would like to do a corner insert. I googled images - there are many beautiful ones out there but only to purchase not the pattern.

Lover's knot.......I did this on a headband for my daughter's wedding veil. Worked up nicely.

I have pattern books from my aunt (very old) with beautiful patterns. I'd be happy to photocopy some and send them to you if you want. I kow you're looking for something with corner inserts and there are several.

Redquilter,
I would love to see those patterns. Old pattern books are my favorite! :) If you want to send me your address I will put a self addressed stamp envelope in the mail to you! :) You can e-mail me at [email protected]
You are a peach!
hugs!

Tomorrow I'll have some time and I'll go through the books and copy what I think you might like. I'll email you when I send so you can be on the lookout. Don't worry about sending the SASE - we don't know how many patterns I'll be sending so don't know the postage. I used to make hankies from the books, but haven't in a while. My aunt will be so pleased to know they are in use again.

Gerri (redquilter),
I know it has been a long time. But I finally finished all of my nieces handkerchiefs I took a pic of 2 of them to send along to you. It was difficult because after my sister in law embroidered them they were not square. Here is a sample though. Thank you so much for all of your help.
