Crochet Stitch Sampler Border Details
This is a very simple four-round crochet border that will work up quickly!
The base of the crochet stitch sampler border is very simple. You will work two rounds of single crochet stitches beginning with an initial sc round worked evenly on the outside edge of the blanket.
Once you have the two rounds of single crochet stitches, there is one round of V-stitches. I loved the Nesting V-Stitch so much I wanted to bring a piece of that to my border.
Then you will work your final round as a Pom Pom crochet border. This fun border is the same one I used as an edging for my Misty Morning Triangle Scarf several years ago. Such a fun border!
For those of you that are making a star blanket I am currently working on a star stitch border to replace the Pom Pom border edge. That should be coming to the blog in the next few weeks.
