Thank you! I was following a pattern that didn’t explain this well. the visual helped me finish my baby blanket.

You're welcome! Happy to help 💙

Thank you for this tutorial! I just made my first blanket with all double crochet stitches and some rows of popcorn stitches throughout. Those are the only stitches I know right now, and I had no idea how to make a border. I also did not know how to do an invisible join, so thanks for showing that too.

You're welcome, Debra. Congrats on finishing your first blanket! That's a huge accomplishment. Popcorns are a good stitch to know, they add so much texture and character!

[@joscalynhocking]

can this be done in a single stitch crochet? i have a double crochet blanket but the edges have holes because i think i chained one too many (i decided to roll with it) but i want to make my boarder tighter to the edge and my tension isn’t the best on my double crochet (proven by the blanket lol)

Great idea! The border would be so good for a blanket.
