Designing edge finishes for shaped knitting (a rough draft).
Intro: Knitting is a counted thread/stitch discipline that results in geometric shapes.
early 20th century, shapes were predominantly round, as in doilies and table cloths.
Some edgings were knit separately as a long, narrow piece and applied. The nature of the stitch pattern allowed the outer edge to expand while the inner edge could contract, without noticeable bunching or ruffling. In some cases, a pronounced ruffle was achieved.
Don't be afraid of a pattern that has different knitting directions: attached as being knit, grafted, or sewn together.
