Description
Because Your Edges Need Help
Your blanket’s been done for a week except for the edge. You’ve been scrolling roundups since Tuesday and committed to nothing, because every crochet border out there looks fine in a photo and not one of them tells you the part you actually need to know before you pick up your hook.
This crochet border cheat sheet is the thing that solves all those problems.
What’s in it
Six crochet borders, each one with a photo, a straight description of what it looks like, what it’s good for, the stitch multiple, the corner count, and an honest read on how much yarn it’s going to eat. Single crochet, double crochet, moss stitch, picot, shell, and crab stitch. No thirty-option gallery. No clicking out to six other websites to find the instructions.
The borders run from flat and boring (in the good way) to decorative and yarn-hungry, so you can pick based on what your project actually needs instead of what photographed nicest.
The page nobody else includes
There’s a whole page on the stuff people assume you already know:
- Why a foundation round of single crochet makes every other crochet border on this sheet turn out better, and everything it quietly hides while it’s doing it.
- What goes in your corners, why three is usually the number, and why a taller stitch needs more room than that.
- How to tell whether you’re ruffling like a ballerina at a recital because you added too many stitches, or puckering because you didn’t add enough. And what to do about either one.
- Why the stitch multiple matters before you start and not forty inches in when you’re crying into your skein.
What you get
A 4-page printable PDF. Instant download. US crochet terms throughout. Print it and stick it in your project binder, or keep it open on your phone next to the yarn where it belongs.
If you want the long version of any of these, the full tutorials are on the blog with step-by-step photos.
