Lace edgings add the perfect bit of pizzazz to any project. In this session, lace knitting expert Corrina Ferguson demonstrates how to work a delicate looped lace edging. It’s the perfect detail to start projects worked from the bottom-up, like shawls and sweaters. Corrina begins by using the long tail cast on, and casts on a multiple of 6 plus 2 stitches.
The looped lace edging is then created by working the following rows:
Row 1 (RS): K2, *bind off 4 stitches, (1 stitch remains on right-hand needle), k1; repeat from * to end.
Row 2 (WS): K2, *yo, k2; repeat from * to end.
Row 3: K2, *(k1, p1) into yo, k2; repeat from * to end.
Row 4: Knit all stitches.

In this session, Corrina Ferguson demonstrates how to work a serrated lace edging. This edging can be used in a variety of ways. One easy way that this edging can be worked into a project is you can knit the entire edging then pick up and knit along one side to work a shawl or garment from the bottom up.
The Serrated Lace Edging is worked as follows:
Cast on 8 sts.
Set-Up Row 1 (RS): Knit to last 2 sts, kfb, k1—9 sts.
Set-Up Row 2 (WS): Sl1, knit to end.
