From the previous post, there was the most votes for the fuller version number 3 with the extra ring in the centre so that's the one I'll share with you in this post.
Just for clarity, let me state that this pattern is not my invention: it is a well-known and traditional edging which appears in lots of vintage and out of copyright publications. I only designed the corner for it.
Hen & Chicks Edging:
R4-4 rw
R4-4 rw
leave 4mm bare thread (and between each subsequent element)
R3-3-3-3 rw
*R3+2-2-2-2-2-2-3 rw
R3+3-3-3 rw
R4+4 rw
R3+3-3-3 rw
R4-4 rw
R3+3-3-3 rw
Repeat from *
To Turn the Corner:
After a large ring,
R3+3-3-3 rw
R4+2-2, rw
(there are no bare threads after this ring and between the following 5 elements)
R2-2-2-2-2 rw
R3+2-2-2-3 dnrw, lock join to last picot of previous ring
R3+2-2-2-2-2-2-3 dnrw, lock join to 3rd picot of previous ring
R3+2-2-2-3 dnrw, lock join to 2nd picot of previous ring
R2+2-4 rw
start leaving a 4mm bare thread again from here
R3+3+3-3
and continue from * above
I hope some of you will enjoy making this lovely vintage edging and corner. Oh, nearly forgot, I made a video that shows how to make the corner too if you're interested. You can view it here.
Best wishes,
Frivole
