Lace Edged Hankie

This is the first attempt I have made to put an edging on a hankie. I have a few hankies that were given to me with crocheted edgings on them and I love the way they look so I decided to create a look of my own. In the future I plan to scan and post the pictures of the hankies I have and try to write the patterns that was used for them but they are not my patterns and I have no idea where the patterns came from.

Materials Needed:
Size 20 crochet cotton. White. Cebelia was used in the example.
Size 11 steel crochet hook
White hankie 10"x10" with holes along the edges and also a row of holes about 1" in from the edge.
Tapestry needle

Yarn Thickness: 20thread
Gauge: 12sc=1"
Finished Size: 12.5"x12.5"
Skill Level: Intermediate
