Weldon's Fifth Series - Polo Edging

The Fifth Series is all edgings and insertions. Before I decided on the Polo Edging, I tried a few others and had a trouble following many of them. I wanted to share one where I could at least get past the first row.

The Polo Edging is five rows and it's sort of worked on it's side with the two row scallop edging added on when it's done. I didn't re-write this one since there weren't that many rows but there were times I wished I had written it out. The printing errors kept throwing me off. Aside from that problem that this was a pretty simple edging to make. Many of the others had instructions that were two to three times longer. I have some patience but not enough to dig through instructions for something I won't use or won't be able to find someone to give it to.

The pattern doesn't suggest a specific thread or a hook size. I used a 1.65 mm steel crochet hook and Knit-Cro-Sheen which is a size 10 thread to make the little sample below. The blocking board squares are all one inch so it's easy to tell that it's about 2.5 inches long. If you wanted different size you could block it bigger or use smaller thread for something more delicate.

On to the scoring:
Is the pattern easy to understand? Yes. 1.0
Does it look like the illustration? Yes. 1.0
Would someone wear/use this? Maybe? I'm sure it's very "useful". 0.75
Did I enjoy making it? Mostly. Not so much that I wanted to keep going after the small section I did though. 0.75
Total is 3.5 out of 4.

Next week we'll move on from edgings to useful articles for personal and home decoration.
