How to Crochet the French Rosette Blanket Part 3 Assembly Border and Edging
Finishing the French Rosette baby blanket is quite easy to do but I’ve included some finishing techniques in this video so that your blanket will be absolutely perfect!
Start by laying the large motif in the center. Then add the flower motifs to the corners so that the plain corners point to the center. Lastly place the rectangles to fill in along the side edges. The rightsides of all the motifs should face up. If you look carefully there are 2 horizontal and 2 vertical seams.
Let’s start with the horizontal seams and then move on to the vertical seams. As you join the various motifs, I share techniques that make the job oh so simple!
Once the motifs are joined, it's time to add the border rounds. All rounds of both the wide and narrow borders are worked with the right side facing you.
The wide border consists of 4 border rounds plus the edging round. I like this one in particular because one last pinstripe frames the entire blanket.
The narrow border is handy when you do not want more inches added. It consists of 2 border rounds (Rounds 1 and 2) and then jumps right into the last edging round.
The edging round is my own invention. It features reverse-hdc stitches which creates a gorgeous rolled/braided edge!
Key moments:
00:00 Introduction
00:40 Work horizontal seams first
06:29 Crossing an existing join
07:21 Border Round 1
09:01 Border Round 2
10:16 Border Round 3 - the pinstripe
11:01 Border Round 4
12:09 Border Round 5 - reverse-hdc edging
Happy Crocheting!

So adorable! Thank You!❤
Beautiful!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Your written pattern says multiples of 19 + 19. Meanwhile here you say 19 + 18…
Thanks for letting me know. The written pattern is correct. Once a video is published it cannot be corrected.
Thank you
Why does mine curl?
When and how is it curling? After thr first row? If so, your foundation chain may be too tight.
I’m hoping this is easier to understand than the original one. I am having a very hard time trying to understand all the sc sk 1, ch, 3 times, etc…
Once you establish the first row with the correct number of sts, everything else falls into place. Let me know if you have additional questions
Yes I am working on a practice piece and it is becoming a lot easier to identify the stitches. I want to make a queen sized blanket using this pattern. Can you tell me how any chains I need to do for my foundation? A queen size bed is 80” L x 60” W but I would like a drape of about 6” on each side.
ah thank you! now i understand how to EDGE!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much!!!
You're welcome!
This was so clear helpful!! I have had a hard time finding a quick way to cast off when knitting on the front bed of my Passap E6000. Please continue to do more videos of your Passap e6000 techniques, it's really so helpful! I would love to see how to shape the knitting when using the electronic techniques, the manual is not super clear or easy to follow.
Thank You! More videos will be coming soon!
I'm new to making my granny squares. I block them after I make them so they are the same size.
That's a very interesting approach. Thanks for sharing. Personally, I never block my motifs. Especially if working in acrylic yarn. I simply join them usually by crocheting them together then just wash the entire blanket when all edgings are in place.
This pattern is great!!! Thank You so much for sharing!!!!
Glad you like it!
Cleaver! Love it ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you. Clear and concise instructions ❤
This is so clever, thank you very much!
You're very welcome!
This is a beautiful cozy and a wonderful tutorial, thank you so much, Mary!
It is just so handy too. Great gift idea and easy summer crochet idea!
Have you found any solution to the holes in the first row where you skip a chain?
The holes created by skipping the chains is part of the Moss stitch pattern. They are supposed to be there just like every row of the Moss stitch. However if you do not want them on the edge row then I would suggest working a row of sc for the first row but making sure to work the peak and valleys too. If you object to the hole at the tip of the valley, simply pull up a loop in all 4 chains at the tip then yo and pull thru all 5 loops on hook. The hole at the peak is needed as is. But only do this on the very 1st row. To make the last row match, at the points of the peaks work 4 sc to fill in.
Oh what a great tutorial! My chevron stripe blanket had a tight chain row and was curving. I didn't want to frog it all because I weaved in the ends already and didn't think that would be fun to undo! I cut the chain, slipped the yarn out, and slipped stitched my way across. I was a little worried because I had double crochet clusters to deal with, but I managed to find the tops of each dc and it worked out beautifully. I used a larger hook size than what I used with the rest of the blanket, too. I am tickled how it turned out, and I thank you so much! 🥰😘
Great job! I'm so glad for your success!
Bless you
Thank you.

You’re welcome 😊
I've made quite a few of these as donation blankets now, but was wondering how you can work it to end up in a corner as your turning spot for the next row, to avoid having the seam line running up the side where you turn?
I have another video that addresses that question exactly! It's called How to Crochet the Moss Stitch Untwisted with Self Striping Yarn! With self-striping yarn the seam line up the side is super obvious but no more because the solution is moving the line to the corner! Here's the link: czcams.com/video/NGdEZEskVeE/video.html
@@TwistedYarns thank you so much, I've had a look and tried it 4 or 5 times but I never seem to land in the right spot. I appreciate you trying to help tho, I'm back to the seam up the side.
The trick is that you need to do the slip st to recenter in the corner every time you turn.
@@TwistedYarns so you would slip stitch multiple stitches to get to a corner? The turn gets further from the corner each round lol.
Hi, love this pattern! I am doing this without a color change and my first decrease round is working out misaligned. Having a hard time figuring out how to do it so it is centered. Can you advise, please?
If the decrease is not centered on the side, the suspect is that you started on a side with an odd number of spaces. Count the spaces on the side from corner to corner (include the corner spaces) If there is an even number of spaces, find the center 2 spaces and your decrease will be centered. If there is an odd number of spaces, the decrease will not be centered. If you follow the companion pattern it explains more about sizing. Here's the link: twistedyarns.com/patterns/moss-stitch-bowl-cozy/ Use coupon code FREEMOSS at checkout to get it for free!
P.S. Also, if you mean "twisted" by the word misaligned, you are not turning the work after each row.
@@TwistedYarns thank you. I have an even number of spaces, and I am turning my work, but the first decrease is not centered. I am not changing colors. Could that have something to do with it? I can’t figure out how to post a picture on here so I could show you.
Yes it probably does. If your turn is right in the center it may interfere with the decrease. You can work the decrease as close to the center as possible. The following round will even it out.
Another way to approach the centering issue. Is this: after you slip st to join on the last row before the decrease and not changing colors. Slip st over a few more sts so you are aligned with a space that is not close to the center. Then turn and you should be able to center the decrease. Let me know how it goes. If you want to send a picture you can email me at mary@ twistedyarns.com
Great work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi from South Africa. We are approaching winter and I would like to make these for family and friends. Thank you for sharing your pattern. How can I adjust the size to make it bigger or smaller.
You can download the companion pattern attwistedyarns.com/patterns/super-easy-slippers/ it contains all the sizes.

Great job!
I have been looking for some one to explain why my moss stitch blanket I’m am making is going all wankie I have my answer thank you very much I am left handed some of my project are the same also
Glad I could help!
This is a lovely edging and reminds me so much of my grandmother’s crochet work - the daisies, the roses, the pansies. Do you remember those beautiful pot holders everyone’s grandma crocheted and displayed in the kitchen? Not meant to be used, but to be looked at. You are reviving a wonderful bit of old school needlework artistry. Thank you 🇨🇦
Thank you for sharing your memories with me. I personally love crocheting flowers! Having lived in northern Illinois for the majority of my life, winters can be brutal and I certainly loved the flowers blooming in the spring.

Where can I find a stopper plate!
I purchased mine from Kriskrafter.com. They are sized for the specific machine. 6.5 mm, 9 mm. You can also find standard bed (4.5 mm) as part of the garterbar set on eBay or similar sites.
Lovely!
Thank you!
Thank you! Where do I buy a garter bar and the garter bar latch holder?
I got mine from Kriskrafter.com for 6.5 and 9mm. Standard 4.5 are available from eBay or sold by other knitters.

Lovely work and clear instruct. Thank you, subbed.
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you for this great video! I have one question after the last demo, ending a round and continuing with the same colour - what do you work in the corner when you end the next row, if you are just continuing with that same colour? I tried a round on my own, but now I'm slip stitching in the stitch before the corner so i think I've missed something since it wasn't part of the video. Would love dome help thanks!
Great question. I cover that in a different video. Watch How to Crochet the Moss stitch rectangle with self-striping yarn. Here's the link: czcams.com/video/NGdEZEskVeE/video.htmlsi=N9LWbgC6RsP0RZvE

Mam plz help me for purchase this machine
I am not a machine dealer so I do not sell anything but patterns. You might try ebay or a local dealer.
Hi. This is just amazing. I couldn't quite understand the name of the stopper plate you used. Could you tell me please . Many thanks Regards Liz.
It is a needle stopper... I call it a stopper plate sometimes. The place I bought mine was Kriskrafter.com. they are sized specifically to the machine you have.
This is great, thank you. How can I do the equivalent crochet edging at the *end* of my piece of knitting, so casting off with a wider band of crochet, doing it all on the machine like this?
Tat's a great question! I've been working on a follow-up video for that topic! Coming soon!
@@TwistedYarns Thank you, great! I guess this isn't a very stretchy edge? (I haven't done it by hand; I tried it on my machine and just got a double-thickness/dense stockinette edge or somesuch, weirdly, I'll have to try again.)
If you got an edge that looks like a thick stockinette, most likely you did the latching on the purlside of the knitting. You need to do the latching between the knitting and the needlebed when you do additional rows.
@@TwistedYarnsOh yes, I see what I did wrong, I latched repeatedly on the knitside instead of switching inwards to the purlside. Thank you! Also, is it a non-stretchy finish? Better for cardigan edges, say, than for headbands? I haven't done a great deal of things in handknitting, so don't know all the basics. Thanks so much.
CLEVER, Thank You So Much. 🥰😘
