Blanket Border

There are two rounds to the border.

This single crochet border sets you up to make the Scallop Border, which is so pretty.

Start in the top corner ready to work down the side of the blanket.

Attach white yarn.

CH 1. Make 2 SC into the same space to form the first corner. Then begin working down the side of the blanket, making 1 SC into the end of the 1st row, then 1 SC into the end of each row as you work down the side of the blanket. Work 3 SCs into the corner.

Now working across the bottom of the blanket, work 1 SC into each stitch across the bottom of the blanket. Work 3 SCs into the corner.

Continue working around the blanket, working along the other side and the top as described above. Remember to always make 3 SCs into each corner.

Join with a slip stitch to the top of the ch1 starting chain when you are back where you began the border.

Fasten off and weave in the ends if you do not want to make the Scallop Border.

Instructions for the Scallop Border.
