For the edging made:
1st row—Over each d c on one side and each empty ch on the other work 4 s c.
2nd row—Work 1 d c into first s c then * 2 ch, miss 2 s c and work 1 d c into next. Repeat from * along both sides of insertion.
Loop Edging ([Figure 234]).
Work 29 s c over a padding cord, then catch in 7th stitch made to form a ring. Again work 29 s c and catch in the 7th stitch to form another ring. Continue until the edging is the required length.
