Crocheting a blanket is a great way to add a personal touch to your home, and adding a unique border is a great way to make it even more special!
In this article, we will discuss three unique crochet borders that you can use to make your blankets stand out.
1: Picot Border
The first border is the picot border, which adds a delicate and feminine touch to your blanket. To make this border, you will need to crochet a row of single crochet stitches along the edge of your blanket. Next, you will need to make a picot stitch by making a chain of three stitches, and then slipping your hook back into the last single crochet stitch you made. This will create a small loop. Then, you will need to make another single crochet stitch into the same stitch to complete the picot stitch. Continue making picot stitches along the edge of your blanket until you have reached the end.
2: Popcorn Border
The second border is the popcorn border, which adds texture and interest to your blanket. To make this border, you will need to crochet a row of single crochet stitches along the edge of your blanket. Next, you will need to make a popcorn stitch by making five double crochet stitches into the same stitch. Then, you will need to remove your hook from the loop and insert it from the front to the back into the top of the first double crochet stitch you made. Pull the loop through, and then pull the end of the yarn to close the popcorn stitch. Continue making popcorn stitches along the edge of your blanket until you have reached the end.
3: Shell Border
The third border is the shell border, which adds a more elaborate and decorative touch to your blanket. To make this border, you will need to crochet a row of single crochet stitches along the edge of your blanket. Next, you will need to make a shell stitch by making five double crochet stitches into the same stitch. Then, you will need to make a single crochet stitch into the next stitch. Continue making shell stitches along the edge of your blanket until you have reached the end.
Adding a unique crochet border to your blanket is a great way to make it even more special. The picot, popcorn, and shell borders are all great options to consider, and they each add their own unique touch to your blanket. With some practice, you will be able to master these borders and create beautiful blankets for your home!
