Border #2

I posted the Americana Baby blanket

a while ago.

But, I didn't post the border.

As luck would have it,

I actually had it written out.

So,

for your crochet enjoyment

Here is my 2nd Border Pattern.

Signed,

I am Feeling To Generous Today :o}

(4009)

Worsted Weight Yarn

    Sample done in Vanna’s Choice Baby

1. A. Scarlet ~ red
2. B. White
3. C. Colonial Blue

Crochet Hook ~ G/6 4.0mm – 8UK/Canadian
Tapestry Needle



Round 1: Join A to any corner, ch 1, *sc 3 times into corner st, sc in each st and the join between blocks to next corner, * repeat from * to * around, sl st to beginning ch 1.

NOTE: You may want to change the sc on either side of the join and the join sp to this: hdc, dc, hdc. Sometimes this area looks low and this will even up the stitches.

Round 2: Ch 1, repeat round 1 from * to *, FASTEN OFF after ending sl st.

NOTE: Round 4 tends to twist yarn. My suggestion is :

1. Cut each color of yarn into a piece 4 – 5 yards long (+/-) ~ measured from the tip of your nose to the tip of your fingers. . no yard stick needed.
2. Whenever yarn gets twisted, just untwist this amount. It is a LOT EASIER that untwisting 3 skeins.
3. You may want to cut the skeins into three different lengths so they will be woven in at different places around the border.

Round 4: Join Color A into any corner, ch 3, in same sp *PUB and dc, PU C and dc, PUA dc in next sp,* repeat from * to * around making sure to have 3 dc in each corner. Fasten off all three yarns at the end of the round.
