You explain everything so well, and I thank you for that
Omg thank you SOOO much for this amazing tutorial. I’m a newby and didn’t know how to add a border. This was easy to follow, clear and concise. Thank you for the breakdown of corner four and the repetitive description. Fantastic!!! 👍🏼
I can officially sy that you have helped in completing this blanket project and made it extremely easy. Thank you so so so much for sharing!! 💝💝🥳🥳🥳
FINALLY Someone who holds their yarn like I do 🤗❤
Great job teaching. As a long time crocheter, I find many newbies have lots of issues with borders. Thanks for such a great job.
My first border! Thank you so much.
OMG, I am finishing my baby blanket with your awesome instructions. I have learned to turn my corners that I never could figure out how to turn and continue! I love your lessons!!!!!! Thank you so very much!
Thank you .Just finished my first crochet project - baby blanket for my granddaughter. Used your tutorial to add a border. So clear and helpful.👍🏻😃
This helped me so much! Those sides have always been so ambiguous for me, I could never tell how to space out my stitches. I wish I had seen this video years ago. Thanks, Tiffany! Your videos are so easy to follow!
❤️
Thank you thank you thank you! As a beginner crocheter this is awesome video!
What an excellent video. I love how you explain the “why” behind the corner stitching and also how to work the sides. After following your instructions my boarders finally look pretty. Thank you so much.
Oh my goodness Marcy!! I'm so excited for you to have found what you needed to help you with the sides of you blankets. That can honestly be the trickiest part. 😊🧡🧶
Thank you Precious
This old girl needed this lesson.
Thank you for being so clear on how to do this!!
Thank you !!! I think you Naresh my new favorite!! This explains so beautifully!!
Another great video Tiffany!! Simple, easy border but cute border!!
Thank you for your clear and precise instructions!
Perfect video. I was making a simple single crochet blanket since I’m a new crocheter and wanted to put the border on it. Grateful. 👏
I’m so glad this video helped! 🤗💖🧶
This is such a useful video! Packed with great tips and explained so clearly. Thank you! I’m a novice crocheter, and I struggle with counting rows, especially when I’ve worked only single crotchet rows, and your tips made it so easy to identify where to insert the hook to start the foundation row especially at the side of the work. Plus your explanation of how to work on the fourth corner and your patient demonstration was very useful. Thank you! You’ve certainly helped me to make my crocheting experience so much more pleasant by largely taking away the guesswork that I’d have to do when I tried to make a border (one of the reasons why I avoided making borders earlier). The end result looks so clean and professional when done properly!
Hi Mubeena! I am so excited that my video was able to help you out! With most of my videos I try to teach the why along with the how to hopefully help someone apply the process of crochet to any project. I'm so glad that this video was able to help you make blanket boarders and level up your crochet projects. Thank you so much for sharing! 😊🧡🧶
This is so helpful! I always have trouble with the borders. Thank you!
Hi Laurie! I'm so glad my video was helpful! Thank you so much for watching. 😊🧡🧶
I've searched and searched for a tutorial this thorough! Every time I had a question pop up during your video, I only had to wait a few seconds and you'd answer it! Thank you so much for helping me understand how to add a border!
You are most welcome! I'm so glad you found my video. You've got this! 😊❤️🧶
This is excellent, Tiffany. Still being a relatively new crocheter, just thinking about adding the border makes me sweat. This makes it all so much more clear. I am finishing up the Sugar Plum Fairy blanket and will use this tutorial for that border. Thank you!!
Thank you!! Easy to understand and you presented the answer to my question! It was also easy to zoom in and see closer the details. ❤
I have to thank you Tiffany for a very good video you are so thorough and I appreciate the step by step directions.
I’m so glad this video helped! 😊❤️🧶
Thank you! I learned so much from your video. No wonder I've been have so many issues follow this blanket pattern.

Hugs Maria 🎃
Hi Maria! I’m excited for you to give this blanket border a go! Let me know what you think of it. 😊❤️🧶
Thank you so much. This helped me a lot.😊
I like to use sc, ch 1, sc in corners instead of 3 sc , but your instructions are clear and easy to understand. Thank you!
Thank you for bringing that up Doreen! The sc, chain 1, sc corner is also common and could absolutely be used in the particular border. I noticed that the chain 1 can create an opening there for each round which is pretty and just a different look. For a completely closed border the 3 sc in the corner works great. 😊🧶🧡
Yah. Thank you, thank you 🥰
Hi Djunicorn! You are most welcome! Thank you for watching! 😊🧡🧶
Your border worked really well thank you, I know I probably made mistakes, this is my 1st ever crochet project.
Hi Djunicorn! I am so excited that you gave this border a go! Congratulations on completing your first project! That’s a big deal! 🎉 . Mistakes will happen. They are just part of the journey. I’m so excited for you! Thank you for choosing one of my tutorial to work. 😊❤️🧶
So so useful
Glad you think so!

You are most welcome! Thank you so much for watching! 😊🧡🧶
Excellent teacher thank you so much.
Thank YOU so much for leaving me feedback @margareteade5238
OMG, thank you so much!
I'm finishing my very first crochet project, which is a baby blanket for my coworker. I thought I could just do the outside normally like I had been doing the rows, and I am so glad that I looked it up and found your video! I'm still not sure about the whole stitch count, but it really helped me complete my border. I can't post a pic, or I'd show you, but imagine a white baby blanket with a light turquoise border around it
Your blanket colors sounds beautiful! I'm so glad you were able to find my channel Mariana especially the Blanket Border For Beginners to help you finish up your blanket. Can't wait for you to give this blanket to your coworker. 😊🧡🧶
Thank you so very much!!!
I really like how you explain!!!
I'm so glad! 🥰🥰🥰
very helpful! thankyou so much!:)
Thanks for sharing
this was helpful, thank you
Hi Jen! I’m so glad you found this video helpful! Thank you so much for watching! 😊❤️🧶
so helpful. I was getting very frustrated with the corners. THANK YOU
You are most welcome!!
One thing I did (first time doing a border) I took stitch markers and placed them in the second of the three sc in each corner.
Helped me keep track of which one I was doing my 3sc in one. I also placed a stitch marker on the wrong side of my blanket in the corner I started from. I have adhd and forgot which corner I started in! Lol
Anyways thank you for a beautiful demonstration of how to do a sc blanket border.
Great tip! Anything that can help us with our project is a bonus. Thank you for sharing! 😊❤️🧶
Thanks so much
❤️Thank You❤️
Me encanta
I'd really love to see some tutorials for other types of borders, and even would like to see how to add a border to a ripple/Chevron 🔰 crochet blanket
Hi Tiffany thanks for a great video. I am wanting to put a moss stitch border onto a ripple stitch blanket. Would I start off with a row of single crochet around the blanket first then start the moss stitch from there.
I always had problems crocheting along the sides. I also have trouble with the corners. This video & explanation are fantastic. Question though, please. For hdc and dc, the foundation around is the same but what about the corners on the expanding rows? Would it be the same concept as the sc block you showed?
I've been looking for help with corners on a hdc project.
Thank you for making your video so easy to follow. Do you have a video for a scalloped border.?🥰
Hi Tiffany. I have made a blanket with the lemon peel stitch & I want to do a single crochet border & I am having a hard time figuring it out. Any tips, suggestions? Do you have a video. I have watched this one quite a few times & it is a bit challenging with the every other stitch going on. Thank you!
Your amazing Tiffany 😘 This is awesome ...when making blankets I tried not to put boarders on them cause I had no idea ..thank you😘
Hi Nancy! Thank you so much! I’m so glad this video helped you! That’s was what I was hoping for. To make sure it was a border easy to follow and understand for someone who has never done a border before. Thank you so much for watching! 😊❤️🧶
Hooked For Hope By Tiffany Hansen I love watching you EXCEPT when you keep giving me a bigger list of things to make 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Went out and bought 5 more notebooks because between you and 3 others “Your killing me Smalls” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but enjoying EVERY step of the way 😘😘😘
Nancy MacDonald haha oh man, your list is just gonna keep on growing too. Who else do you watch? I’d love to check them out too 😊
Hooked For Hope By Tiffany Hansen Hi Tiffany 😘 this is just a few ...lmao..crochet crowd, Yarnspirations, Aja joi Watson, Alison Russell, Bella Coco, OMGranny Square, Ophelia talks, Naztazia, Oana Crochet, Fiber Spider, Jada, Bagoday,
There’s more lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I made my first baby blanket using the fairy stich when I got it finished it looked like an hour glass
Really helpful! I think I can, I think I can…
I know you can! You got this!! 😊❤️🧶
@@CrochetWithTiffany I had trouble with the sides. The blanket was done in simple moss stitch (from Good Knit Kisses). I took the start of the border out 3 times before I finally got it started without having too many stitches & making it wavy!
I was going to send you a picture, but I couldn’t figure out how to do it here
You are awesome..
Thank you so much Lara!! 😊🧡🧶
Thankyou so much for your easy to follow video. I’ve done the main body of my blanket in double crochet and only done one chain on the end of each row so round the border do I just do one double in each hole ? 😃
Hi Katie! That is a great question. Ok, when working your border on the sides of your blanket I want you to really look at the side of each row. If the side of the row shows the chain 1 you used to get to that row then you will make one single crochet in the side of that row. If you are looking at the side of the row and it shows a double crochet for the last stitch of that row you will make 2 single crochets on the side of that double crochet. You will notice that if you only make one single crochet on the side of a double crochet stitch that your stitches will start to bunch. 2 single crochets will space out your stitches. After you are done with the first side of the blanket pause. lay the blanket flat and look to see if everything looks flat or if you notice any bunching so that you can fix it now. Then do the same after finishes the other side of the blanket border.
The good things is that you only need to worry about this for the first row of the blanket border and then you are all set up to work the border and don't need to worry about the main body of the blanket anymore.
Hope this helps! Good luck. 😊🧡🧶
A Question? Can this single crochet stitch border be used on a Granny Square baby blanket?
This is a great video!!!!! I have asked what is the corner stitch. You explained to start the 3 sc in the last stitch of the row. Makes perfect sense. One thing I am still unclear and I am sure it is me, when you are working on a corner where there is a turning chain after the last stitch, (this is where the body of the blanket is hdc), will the 3 sc go around the turning chain?
Fabulous question!!! I would completely ignore the turning chain and make the 3 stitches in the last actual stitch. 😊❤️🧶
i'm new to your channel. glad i found u u are a great teacher. but how do u put on a double crochet border on a double crochet laprobe. thanks so much
Hi Robin, I’m so glad you found me too! If you are asking how to make a double crochet border around a blanket you would just do exactly what we did with the single crochet border just with a double. I’m not quite sure what a laprobe is... 🤷🏼♀️😊❤️🧶
I made a thick double crochet long blanket for twin bed. Do I have to do a single crochet around it first ? Then do a double crochet. I’ve never done that front and back stitch. It’s really long but straight but those holes in side,so I thought I’d double crochet. 🤷♀️ I need help. My wool is polyester yarnspirations.I have done 3 chains at end of rows . Thank you so much.
Hi Free Spirit with Nature. You can absolutely work the sc border around a blanket made up with Double Crochet rows. You will just work 2 sc in the side of each row. Technically you do not have to start with a sc row for a blanket though I find it to be a good starting foundation row to keep everything clean. You mentioned working a front and back stitch. Did you want to make this stitch for a border? That is definitely a more intermediate crochet stitch and might be a little confusing for me to type out how to do that. You may want to stick to plain basic stitches for the time being and work up to that. It will still turn out very pretty. 😊🧡🧶
Thank you for this video. Can I please ask if this still applies if I’ve done a front post back post double crochet blanket with chain two at the end? Also in the second row of border is it still only 3 stitches into the corners
Hi Debbie! Great questions! First, I have found that the FPdc/BPdc stitch blanket the stitches are more compact so the border I will make only one stitch in the side of the row. It is definitely the exception. So thanks for asking. As for you second question, for every row of your border you will need to make 3 stitches in the corner stitch which in the second row on will be the second stitch of the 3 that you will make 3 stitches into. It keeps the rows flat. Hope this helps. 😊❤️🧶
@@CrochetWithTiffany thank you very much, very helpful.
@@CrochetWithTiffany thanks Tiffany, I ended up single crochet stitch for stitch in both short ends and 2 x single crochet followed by 1 single crochet repeated down the sides of the blanket. Your tip about doing the first border round in same colour as blanket was fabulous. I have tried 5 different borders on this blanket but this one is by far the most suitable. Again thank you.
Hi hope you can help. I used the linen stitch sc ch1. If I do the sc border, do I make sc in the ch space. Thanks so much😊
Great question. Yes! You will want to make a sc st around the chain 1 spaces when working the border because those chain 1's still count as a stitch space. This will also help everything to lay flat. Thank you so much for asking! 😊❤️🧶
@@CrochetWithTiffany Thank u so much🌸🌸. Have a great day. Blessing from South Africa Cape Town🪻🪻
Thank you so much Tiffany you help me all that's why I paid for your seek pees
What happens if you rows end on double crochet?
If i have a double crochet and chain 3,do i put in 3single crochet??
Thank you
Great question! If you are working a Dc border I would make 3 Dc stitches in the middle Sc stitch. OR you could also make a Dc, chain 2, Dc. But I probably would make 3 chains.
If you are referring to the main blanket patter being a Dc chain 3 Dc like in a Granny Square, I would do this.
When you come upon the corner, make one sc around the first chain, 3 sc around the second chain and one sc around the third chain. So you will technically be making 5 Sc in this chain 3 space. THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT!! We are accounting for each chain or each stitch space. So in the next round for the blanket border you will come to this 5 sc space and make 1 sc in the first 2 sc stitches, in the 3rd sc stitch or middle sc stitch make your 3 sc stitches for the corner, and then make one sc stitch in the last 2 sc stitches in this space.
Then in the 3rd row for your border everything will be on track.
I hope this helps! Haha, had a few different ways of interpreting that question and so answered a few different ways. 😊🧶🧡
Hi,
I’m losing stitches on my blanket,it’s not obvious now,
How do I add? It’s the beginners blanket, which I love.
I’m making it for my grandson who’s coming in March.
Thank you
Sarah
Hi Sarah! Congratulations on your brand new grandson coming in March. Ok, if you are noticing that you are missing I would add a stitch to the very end of each row until you are back to the number of stitches you had in row 1. Make a gradual come back. Hope this helps! Counting your stitches per row for a few rows will help you out a bunch. 😊🧡🧶
So I made a baby blanket with the Bernat baby yarn- so thick and kind of hard to find the right stitches. I did the top row fine, turned corner did one side. But when I lay it flat the side is wavy not flat. The blanket was rows of HDC into the back loop of each stitch then chain two. Repeat. So I tried the 2 sc in each chain two. So what should I be doing different if it is wavy? I seem to have this issue when I try borders.
Hi Chris! I think I can picture what is happening here. Your first and last stitch is a Hdc but the chain 2 is what’s confusing things. Try making just 1 sc in the side of each row. That should fix the waves and help the blanket lay flat. The Hdc rows are not long enough to support 2 scs in the side of that row and lay flat. Great question! Thank you so much for asking!
@@CrochetWithTiffany thank you for the reply. I will try that.
Tiffany, does it matter if you start the sc Border on the “Right” side of the Blanket or the “Wrong” side? And can’t you just continue and Not fasten off, especially if you’re using the “same” color…. This is the Best tutorial showing the sides!!!! Tyvm
Thank you so much.
It looks like the hardest one to find and figure out would be the HDC.
Hi Susan! You are most welcome! I get how the Hdc looks hard but once you start working with the stitches it's not so bad. 😊🧡🧶
@@CrochetWithTiffanylove your tutorials. Very clear and concise. Awesome!! I 🙃
Thank you! It was an awesome video.! Do you put two singlecrochet's on the starting row in each place on the double crochet blanket.
I just put single droplet stitches on the bottom row 9r my double crochet blanket. I'm a little confused
Crochet
Great question Julie! Yes, on the sides of Double Crochet rows you will want to make 2 Single Crochet stitches. And then at the bottom of the blanket just make one Single Crochet stitch per stitch space. 😊❤️🧶
Thank you!
Would this look okay on a garter stitch knitted blanket?
Absolutely! This simple pattern is great for framing a blanket and letting the main body of the blanket be the star of the show. 😊❤️🧶
My baby blanket is 12 half-double rows followed by 6 single rows. Can I use this border on my blanket? Any difference on how I will do the side of the blanket?
Hi Marilyn! Yes! You can absolutely use this border on your blanket. When working the sides of the blanket you will make one single crochet in the side of each row. 👍🏻. Thanks for asking! 😊❤️🧶
@@CrochetWithTiffany Thank you. Loving your tutorials.
❤💜💚
Can you use this border on the baby essential blanket
Hi Sue! Absolutely you can! Go ahead and give it a try and let me know what you think of the combination. 😊🧡🧶
Hi Tiffany I am very new at this... am gonna do the border on the essential baby blanket would I put one single stitch ..seeing that its a 1/2 double then when you skip a space does that get a single stitch also..Sorry just want to do this the right way
Can you use this border more than 3 times around a blanket???
YES! Make as many rows as you want! Just follow the same formula. 😊🧶❤️
Does this work for a triple crochet blanket?
Hi Denisse! It sure does! You will just need to make 3 single crochet stitches on the side of each triple or treble crochet stitch row. Hope that helps. 😊🧡🧶
❤️🌹
Hello. I just watched your single crochet border. I'm making a double crochet blanket.Im still struggling with trying to make it straight and clean
Hmm, my first suggestion is to watch how tight your stitches are. That will be a major factor for the borders. Also, round 1 of your border is the MOST important round. Really sets up the entire border and how it will look. When working this round put the project down often and check to see how it's laying. If you are noticing the stitches are bunching then you many need to add MORE stitches to get it to lay flat. If you are noticing the stitches and ruffling you may have too many stitches and need to remove some until it lays flat.
Sometimes, depending on our tension and the nature of the crochet stitches we used in the main body of the blanket, the border may need to be changed just slightly for everything to lay flat. But ultimately that is what we want, is for it to lay flat. This will also help to get the clean straight sides you are looking for.
I hope this helps! 😊❤️🧶
Question? Is this the “best” Single Crochet boarder pattern for a GRANNY SQUARE baby blanket?
Hi Charlene, I can't say it's the BEST single crochet border for a Granny Square baby blanket but I can say that it will work. There are so many different blanket border options out there that you could choose from. It's all up to you. 😊❤️🧶
Question….. Will this single crochet border pattern work on a GRANNY SQUARE baby blanket?
OR…. Do you suggest another version single crochet border for a GRANNY SQUARE baby blanket?
Hi Charlene! Yes, this single crochet blanket border will work great with a Granny Square Blanket. Be extra careful with your stitch tension that you are making looser stitches to matchup with the stitch tension of your blanket. It is very easy to make Single Crochet stitches rather tight and that would scrunch up your blanket. Do regular checks by laying the blanket down flat and seeing how the border is effecting the blanket and if you need to go back and loosen up your stitches.
You could also substitute out the Single Crochet Stitch with a Half Double Crochet or Double Crochet stitch too! This might help with the stitch tension.
There are many different blanket borders you can use! It is all up to you on what your think would look nice together, who the blanket is for, and if the stitch count will fit with your sides. 🧶❤️😊
So the reason mine is weaving is because too many stitches in the corners?
Correct! Great job putting that together. 😊❤️🧶
