edging: chain 1, (along side) sc in the sides of the last DCs, there should be approximately 20 or 21 sc; in the last one, place 3 sc (this is actually the first DC of the chain 3, DC, chain 2, 2 DC), along the bottom sc in each of the lower half of the foundation chain; placing 3 sc in the chain 3 space; along the other side sc in each stitch, with again having about 20 to 21 sc along the side; along the top, sc in each of the first 2 DC, 2 sc in the chain 2 space, 2 sc in the next 2 DC, 1 DC in each of the next 8 DC, 2 sc in the chain 2 space, 1 DC in each of the next 8 DC, sc in each of the next 2 DC, 2 sc in the chain 2 space, 1 sc in each of the next 2 DC, slip stitch and join in the first sc, fasten off and weave in ends.
