Could someone explain what "ric-rac" is? It doesn't seem to be what I
understand. I have several cards of ric-rac braid I got in a sale, and
would use it to sew on to a garment for decoration. It was a very popular
trim in the mid 50's if I remember right - that's the 1950's! But ric-rac
involving crochet is a total mystery to me. Yet another example of two
countries separated by the same language?

This article doesn't go back as far as the early 1800s, from where I saw my
earliest example of this stuff, but read it and learn what Fran wants to do
without crochet.
