Patterns Found Online for Net Edgings

Edgings can be simple using several rows of plain netting or elaborate using intricate fancy netting stitches. Sometimes edgings are the last part of the item and are not identified as an edge. This is often true with doilies, mats, and tidies. Other items have an edge added on after the project is finished. Handkerchiefs, socks, and antimacassars are among those types of items.

Here are the edge patterns I found online in books.

I'm slowly chipping away as the doilies I need to make to convert them from a rectangular photocopy to a circular photo. This week it was Sunbeam's turn.

This doily's edge was created when I said, "I wonder what would happen if I. . ." and then tried the idea I had.
