I've been working on the edging this weekend . After trying a couple of patterns I didn't like , I've pulled it all out and gone back to the same edging I used on my square throw...
I made this up for that project , though no doubt it's not original .It's so simple but effective , just the right amount of prettiness without being too fussy ...in my opinion :0).....
Here's a quick "how to " for those of you who are interested ...
Working in the spaces between the clusters of the previous round , make 2 U.S. double ( U.K. treble ) crochet ...
Chain 2....
Then make 2 more double/trebles in the same space.Then repeat in the next space ....
On the corners I simply added an extra chain 2 and 2 dc....
And that's it . Told you it was simple . I'm calling this "Double V Edging" as I've had a look around on t'internet and I can't actually find another example .I'll add a link in my side bar , with my other tutorials , in case you want to find it in the future.
Back Soon with the finished project .. can't wait to show you ,and I think it's going to be just in time , with freezing weather and snow forecast for later this week .

Oh it is lovely, I have used this edging on a baby blanket completely by accident when the pattern I was trying for went wrong lol! It looks gorgeous. Can't wait for your ta-dah x

That's a wonderful edge and so simple. I will definitely use it. Thank you. x
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. That white edging really sets it off.
ReplyDeleteIt's me again. Your little fawn colored bunny looks similar to my Nippit.
ReplyDeleteOoh that edging is lovely and sounds like it will be simple to do too, hurrah!! Thanks for the tutorial xx
ReplyDeleteThat looks very yummy. Next year will be my year for crochet and I will put in to practise all these fantastic stitches...Oh my goodness my first NY resolution :) x
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely and I think it looks really effective - going to try this for definite!!
ReplyDeleteBlanket is looking lovely - looking forward to seeing it in all its glory soon. I invented an edging for one of my blankets, couldn't find it on the internet but then it appeared in a book as 'block' edging! Haven't seen one like yours before though!
ReplyDeleteThis edge is really nice, simple but effective! Thanks for sharing such a nice idea!
ReplyDeleteNice! I am using the same edging on my baby blanket. Although I am not making it, my friend is finishing it off as I can't crochet anymore.(Had just a couple of rows to go and the edging and the baby is growing quick, soon 4 mths old...) So sad. But I love this edging. Can't remember where I found it... somewhere in internet-sphere. Good choice and I would love to see the blanket in full.
ReplyDeleteOh wow I LOVE this edging! Thanks so much for posting about it!
ReplyDeleteIt's really effective - thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to the big reveal!
