My favorite edging to finish a 'ghan

Rnd. 1: Join w a sl st in the center st of any corner, ch 1, 3 sc in same st (corner formed), sc in each st down side of 'ghan, work 3 sc in center st of corner, repeat from * around, skipping final 3 sc, join with a sl st to first sc.

Rnd. 2: Ch 4 (counts as first dc and ch 1, (dc, ch 1) twice more in same st as joining, *skip nxt st (dc, ch 1) in nxt st, repeat from * down side, work (dc, ch1, dc, ch1, dc, ch1) in center st of corner (corner formed), repeat from * around, skipping final corner, join in 3rd ch of beginning ch 4. (Note: you may need to adjust your stitches slightly at the corners depending on the number of sc you have in the previous row. I normally add a (dc, ch1) rather than skip 2 st.)

Rnd. 3: Ch 1, sc in same st as joining, sc in ch 1 sp, 3 sc in next st (corner formed), sc in ch 1 sp, *sc in nx dc, sc in ch 1 sp, around working 3 sc in the middle dc of each corner, join to first sc, fasten off and weave in ends.
