Here's another pattern without a name. The garter stitch edging combines fagotting along the top with large eyelets arranged within the saw-tooth lower edge. The stitch count increases with every eyelet row, from 11 to 19, and the added stitches are bound off in the last row of the 12-row repeat.

The right side and wrong side of this pattern are indistinguishable from one another, making it suitable for a wide variety of purposes.

This one is very pretty. It would flare nicely on a curved edge. Reversibility is a useful design feature too. Thanks again for sharing all these patterns.
I began knitting lace about 15 years ago, and what began as curiosity quickly became a passion.
I have frequented used bookstores and antique shops for some 40 years, and have acquired an extensive library of works on textile arts going back to the 1850s.
This blog chronicles the patterns found in a late-Victorian composition book that was used by an anonymous east-central Illinois knitter as a knitted lace sample book. Some of the instructions were clipped out of newspapers, others written out by hand. Most were accompanied by a small sample worked in fine thread.
For more on the original book, see post #1, The Project. Phase Two of the blog documents the patterns in another late-Victorian knitter's notebook from my collection described in the August 2010 post Son of the Project. While including many knitted lace designs, the book also contains directions to make mittens, afghans, baby leggings and more.

What an attractive edging. As yarnjouney said, the fact that it is reversible makes it so useful too.
