How Do You Crochet Edges On Pillow Cases?
Crochet edgings and trims can add splashes of elegance to any home decor items, from curtains to handkerchiefs. Use crochet edgings to embellish your pillow cases and give them as gifts or save them as family heirlooms. Your pillow cases will have a lacy, unique style. Use a wide-eyed needle and crochet thread to sew a square stitch around the hem of your pillow case. This stitching will substitute for a foundation chain, so at the end leave a working strand of crochet thread attached instead of cutting the strand. Insert your hook into the first loop from the square stitch, and create a single crochet stitch into every square stitch you made. Join with a slip stitch to your first single crochet stitch when you have made it all the way around the pillow. Chain one and continue to work in the round. Make a picot stitch (slip stitch, chain 3, slip stitch) into every single crochet stitch across your previous row for a simple, lacy edging.
