Edging

NOTES:  With the edging, you will basically crochet evenly down the long sides.  The only time the math will come into play is when you are doing the short ends of the wrap for the edging design.  The short ends of the project should be multiples of 8 plus 5.  For example, I had 77 stitches on the short ends which gave me the multiple of 8 plus 5 (77 – 5 = 72; 72 is a multiple of 8). Remember to include 1 (or two) st(s) from each corner 3 sc (1 sc belongs to the first side, 1 sc belongs to the corner – and can be used by one side or the other – and 1 sc belongs to the next side.)

Tip for short edge: Mark every 10^th or 20^th st to keep track of your st count. Aim for about 2 sts per row edge.
