Lori at Waste Knot (my "local" shop and highly recommended) has a short video about what Waste Knot's finishers prefer when it comes to extra rows around the outside edge of a finished piece.
Basically, for hand sewn pieces, extra rows are not needed but for machine sewn pieces, you will need two extra rows. But as Lori says, always check with your finisher first. You may not know if they are planning to use machine sewing or hand sewing on your particular stocking, ornament, box top, etc.
