Hello, and welcome! Remember the crochet edged kitchen towel I shared here some time ago? At the time, I had bought fabric to make two kitchen towels, one blue and one pink. A couple of days ago I finally managed to finish the blue towel:
Just like with the pink towel, I didn't exactly plan to write a crochet pattern for this border, but I'll try to describe the process below in case you want to replicate it yourself.
Here are the original fabrics I found at the scraps bin at one of my favorite crafts stores in Lisbon (aptly named At Home Hobby):
This border is very basic. I used the yarn below (there are lots of colors available, but for this towel I went with a simple white), and a 2.5 mm crochet hook:
After adding the first row (single crochets over the hem, with three chains in between), I alternated three double crochets and three chains.
Row 3 consisted again of double crochets and chains, this time alternating nine double crochets with three chains (see image above).
In case you are trying to create a similar edging and have any questions or the explanation above isn't clear enough, feel free to leave a comment and I'll try to help you the best way I can.

Have fun, and happy Tuesday!

Oh my, this so reminds me of my late mom, we used to do a lot of these and in fact I still have some in use from around 25-30 years agio.
