Faye, it's not that simple as it depends on how wide the lace is. You
need the length of each side plus 8 times the width of the lace
(minimum!) The outside of the lace has to be long enough to right
along the edge of the finished hankie including the lace.
If your hankie is, say 20 cm x 20 cm, and the lace is 5 cm wide you
would need (5 cm + 20 cm + 5 cm) for each side making a total of 120 cm.
If your lace was only 2cm wide you'd only need (2cm + 20 cm + 2 cm) x
4 = 96cm

When you gather lace around a corner instead of making a corner, to

it is a hanky edge do you work the 2.5 times 1cm/2cm or 3cm from the
corner
each way or for the whole length of the lace?
