Instructions For Adding Orange Trim To The Black Lace Edging

The openwork portion of this design resembles spiders hanging out in their webs. With the addition of orange trim along the bottom edge, this makes a great Halloween edging. There are also instructions for adding an optional ghost outline to the solid part of the edging, if you wish to.

These embellishments are added to my basic Black Lace Openwork Edging. First, crochet a length of the edging from the free pattern available at: http://crochet.about.com/library/weekly/aa101505.htm. Then add any of the extras that you wish to, from the following directions:

Orange Trim:
Holding the edging upside-down, with the bottom edge held upward and the right side of the piece facing you, attach orange in the first chain-5 loop on the edge of the Black Lace Edging.
(sc, ch 3, sc) in first ch-5 loop, sl st in ea of next 2 sc, * (sc, ch 3, sc, ch 3, sc) in next ch-5 loop, sl st in next sc, (sc, ch 3, sc, ch 3, sc) in next ch-5 loop, sl st in next sc, (sc, ch 3, sc, ch 3, sc) in next ch-5 loop, sl st in ea of next 2 sc **, repeat the directions between * and ** as many times as needed to go across the length of your edging. End with (sc, ch 3, sc) in last ch-5 loop. End off. Weave in ends.
