Beautiful Crochet Edging Patterns: Add Elegance to Your Projects
Easy Crochet Border Ideas
If you are a looking for a easy border to add to your next baby blanket or afghan, start with a simple single crochet border. Then add a final round of crab stitch.
If you are unable to master the crab stitch (reverse single crochet) you may want to try the twisted single crochet instead. Watch Kinga’s video tutorial here to see how easy this one is to make.
Moss Stitch Edging: A simple moss stitch border which is crocheted with single crochet stitches and chain stitches (see: Moss Stitch Border).
Bobble Edging: Add a fun crochet edging using double crochet stitches (dc), single crochet (sc) and chain stitches (ch). It creates texture with a little bobble stitches around your finished crochet blanket (see: Bobble Edging).
Or if you are ready to try something a little bit more challenging, the Persian Dream Border is beautiful. This edging includes a picot stitch with other stitches: (see: Persian Dream Border).
