The Agnes edging

Agnes Ann chart

Fancier than the Alice edging, The Agnes edging is a small asymmetrical edging based on shells. It would look nice done in a fine thread, say #30. This is DMC Baroque size 10 thread using a #9 (1.4 mm) hook. All shells are dc, ch 2, dc, ch 2, dc.

1. Ch 10. Dc, ch2, dc, ch 2, dc in 1st ch. Ch 6, turn.
2. Dc, ch 2, dc, ch2, dc in second ch 2 space. Dc into previous ch 10 space. Ch 5, turn.
3. Dc, ch 2, dc, ch2, dc in second ch 2 space. Ch 6, turn.
4. Dc, ch 2, dc, ch2, dc in second ch 2 space. Dc into previous ch 5 space. Ch 5, turn.

Repeat rows 3 and 4 to length desired. On last row omit the ch 5 and tie off.
