Crochet a simple lace lily and cross edging for an altar cloth. Designed in 1924 by an unknown designer, this crochet pattern features scallops, open areas of lacets and bars, and a mitered corner with detailed instructions.
Originally designed by Mabel Levin in 1926, the easy two-row edging adds bling to this set of two simple borders. Along with the matching insertion, they are suitable for many purposes, and may be used separately or in combination.
With six variations on a gorgeous chrysanthemum—scarf end, tablecloth corner, napkin corner, wide border (with corner turn), square, and insertion—you can accessorize any room in your house.
For Good Friday and the Easter season, this scalloped altar cloth edging has the acronym INRI, or “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews”, which was an inscription put on the cross.
