Crochet the edging in your choice of any weight of yarn or size of thread for various uses (adjust hook size used accordingly). I crocheted the edging (shown in the photo above) in size 10 thread, using a size 7 steel hook for an edging that is 1 3/4 inches wide.
The free pattern for the edging is available at the following link:
