Is your yarn stockpile getting any lighter? Is your seat a bit more comfortable? I certainly hope so!
Today we’ll complete our blankets with two simple borders, which will be like framing your work before hanging it on the wall.
If you haven’t already, go ahead and crochet Parts 1, 2, and 3 of the pattern. To discover all of the phases of the free patterns and the associated instructions, go to the main Dahlia Scrapgan website.

Explanation:
Combine yarns of varying weights and colors to make a blanket that your eyes can’t help but dance across. Because each square is crocheted separately, this is an excellent contemplative craft for when you’re on the move. A continuous crochet joining technique easily joins everything together, leaving you with fewer ends to weave in and a blanket constructed with no sewing!
BORDER
Using a smaller hook, continue:
Slst 2 into next sp between 3dcClusters, ch 3 tightly, 2 dc in same sp, *3 dc in each sp to corner, (3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc) in corner sp; rep from * 3 more times, 3 dc in each sp to end of round; slst to top of ch from beginning of round to connect.
Round 1 Tip: At each junction where two rows join, make 1 dc in the first corner, 1 dc between squares, and 1 dc in the second corner.
Slst 2 into next sp between 3dcClusters, ch 3 tightly, 2 dc in same sp, *3 dc in each sp to corner, (3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc) in corner sp; rep from * 3 times more, 3 dc in each sp to end of round; slst to third ch from beginning of round to connect.
Round 4 is done in reverse single crochet, which means that the right side of the cloth is still facing you, but the stitches are crocheted in the other manner you’re used to. If you’re unfamiliar with this stitch, I teach how to accomplish it in the Cleo Fedora video instruction.
