handkerchiefs ~ April

I found some embroidered floral handkerchiefs the other day and decided they need crochet edging.  This is the first one I finished.  I used DMC Cotton Pearl in white and a 1mm hook. 

The first round is single crochet into the scalloped edge.  The second round is single crochet, chain 3, slip stich in the back loop of the first chain, then single crochet in the next single crochet; repeat around.

I like to carry handkerchiefs.  Usually they are plain white men's hankies that I can pick up at a department store.  This year I've decided to try add some character to my handkerchiefs.

January:  crocheted lace edging on 2

February:  I made 15 and sent 12 as valentines.

March:  After making quite a few in February...

I'm starting to think about making my next hankie.
