This wide scalloped crocheted piece could be used as either an edging or an insertion, but don't let the name hinder you from dreaming up additional creative ways you could use it.
Skill Level: Very easy / beginner
This pattern is easy enough for a total beginner. If you are a total beginner, I do recommend that you try working a square of regular rows of single crochet before starting this pattern, if you haven't already. That way, you can get a feel for what it’s like to work single crochet with a turning chain of ordinary length. The turning chain used in this pattern is longer than usual.
Materials:
The sample edging was crocheted using worsted weight cotton yarn and a size H / 5.0 mm crochet hook. You can try this pattern with just about any fiber, thread, or yarn in any size you like.
Abbreviations Used in This Pattern:
- ch = chain

Repeat row 2 until your piece is the desired length.
Finishing the Edging:
End off and weave in loose ends. Block if desired.
