The Magic Carpet Edge is a two-sided edge pattern that lends itself well to adding special elements like tassels or for hanging your work like a tapestry.

Add this edge to any square or rectangular project. Use the same size hook as used on your project.

Two versions are presented. One with defined corners and one with flush edges.

You’ll only need to worry about stitch counts on the two sides that have the edging - the stitch counts should be multiples of 8 plus 3, but the pattern contains instructions if you happen to have plus 2 or plus 4.
