Crocheting Trim

Today I decided to create a trim for a project I am going to be working on and this is what I came up with...
I've had some folks ask for the pattern so I took the time to write it down in case I ever want to make it again. I really don't mind people using the pattern below but it would be nice if I was given the credit if you use it. I just came up with this on my own as I went along.... here is the pattern...

    That's a lovely trim Becky. Your directions are well written and easy to understand.

    I love crocheting trims and have even started making some with beads. I bought a wonderful book titled The Beaded Edge and have had fun making some of these. There are some wonderful antique trim/edging patterns out there too.

    I look forward to seeing what you use this trim of yours with.

    Happy Crocheting ~ FlowerLady

    That will make a very nice finish touch to whatever you are making. I've never tried to make trim, but I've admired it very often. I have one set of simple, white pillow cases with a think bit of trim and though there really isn't anything "special" about them I think that trim makes them special.
