Mrs. Beeton's Book of Needlework is available online at Project Gutenberg.
This is one of her edgings. I have incorporated a picot into the smaller ring and left out the crochet part.
It will make a nice bookmark if, as I have done above, you mirror-image another row of it and insert with a strip of velvet ribbon . It's done with a single shuttle or if you needle-tat, working with the thread cut off the ball.
Large Ring 1: 4-3-3-3-3-4. Leave a one-sixteenth inch space on your thread.
Small Ring 1: 4-4. Leave a one-sixteenth inch space on your thread.
Large Ring 2: 4+3-3-3-3-4, joining the first picot to the last picot on the first large ring.
Continue until the edging is the desired length.
