This free crochet pattern is easy beginner-friendly and works up fairly quickly for a blanket. Your choice of crochet edge can make or break your blanket. It is the smallest read.

If the stitches are pulling you have too few if they are rippling you have too many. Leaving an edge unfinished is fine but if you really want your project to stand out choosing an appropriate edging can really give it the edge. Feel free to comment below and join my fun community.

Its also quite easy to implement and involves the basic single crochet double crochet and slip stitches. Sc all the way around the blanket 2 times. Every single tutorial I find and share comes with a video guide.

Insert an extra stitch in the first post and the last post on this side to help your border turn each corner and lie flat. Once you finish crocheting the main body of the blanket do not fasten off. Double crochet once around the post of a single crochet stitch twice around the post of a double crochet stitch and three times around the post of a triple crochet stitch.

I put together lots of crochet borders to use. Begin to sc down the left side of the blanket all the way down. Starting in the corner sc 3 stitches in the corner of the blanket.
