Around and around we go! Time for the border of the inner section of the Ginny’s Grannies Blanket CAL. This is a great part to make while binge watching your favorite show. It’s very simple, and I love the look it creates. If you want a baby blanket, this is a great place to stop, and if you want a couch throw, you can finish to this point with a thicker yarn and larger hook.

This stitch is also known as the doubled chain 2 (dch2), and a tutorial can be found HERE.
Getting Started:
- Round/Row counts are at the end of each row after the period, if the count has changed from the previous round. – {count here}
- Chs and sl sts are not included in Round/Row counts unless specified.
- Most Rounds end with a sl st into the first st that was made in that round. “First stitch” of the next Round is the st that was slip stitched into.
- Many Rounds end by working sts into the same corner space as was worked into at the beginning of the Round.
