Edging:
Round 1: Turn, slip stitch into first space, chain 3 (counts as first dc), 3 dc's in same space. Working around piece, work 4 dc's in each mesh, with 8 dc in each corner. Work 4 dc in same space as beginning 4 dc's in same space as starting 4 dc's. Join.

Finishing:
Block and starch piece as desired (I pinned it out on my blocking board, pinned, and sprayed with starch).
Thread dowel through row 2 of edging. Tie hanger firmly at each end of dowel.
