If you’re wondering how to finish a crochet blanket, well this final section of the Suzie’s Striped Sampler will work on so many crochet afghans.
The yarn for this design was provided by WeCrochet. All opinions are my own.
For all the details and links to each part of this CAL, CLICK HERE for the January post.
When I need a crochet trim or border for a project the linen stitch is my go-to stitch pattern. Sure, I use plenty of others, but I find myself going back to this easy and pretty crochet border or trim time and again. It pairs wonderfully with nearly any stitch pattern, it works with solid or multiple colors, and it has a very crisp and clean look without feeling stiff.
This simple border is fun to make and creates a professional, finished look. I love the linen stitch (aka moss stitch) for crochet trims, borders, and edgings, and I think you will, too!
Don’t forget to tune in next month for more finished photos, and for photos of finished blankets from some of you. If you want your photos included, be sure to make a project page on Ravelry, and don’t forget to link it to my pattern!
