In the previous step, we have made a round of crab stitches.
In this step, we will make the final round of the trim.
Last time we left off making a sl st into space between two
dc.
What we are going to do next is to make a chain grabbing
each dc.
Look at the picture below.
You need to make each ch quite loose, much looser than a
regular beginning chain. You might need to try several times. If you see that
the side of your blanket is too tight, unravel the chain and try again with
even looser/bigger ch.
Here is what the chain will look on the other side.
And here it is done in the original color.
I highly recommend making this chain as the final round
because along with the crab stitch, it will prevent the blanket from stretching
and losing its rectangular shape. What is more, it looks very pretty.
Make this kind of chain around your entire blanket. Join
in the first ch with a sl st.
Fasten off!
Tah Dah! We are done!
Phew! That was a lot of work, but the result is quite beautiful!
If you have followed this tutorial through, I would love to hear your feedback. Was it useful? Did it make sense? Were you actually able to make this blanket? How did it turn out?

ReplyDeleteI just finished your tutorial! I thought it was really well done, the red yarn for the edging really helped! It was also nice to see pictures and a text description of what to do next. I made my blanket a little smaller to be a "lovey" and it's beautiful. Thank you so much for taking the time to make the tutorial!
ReplyDeletethank you for sharing this wonderful tutorial, loved the pictures, they helped a lot, especially the red yarn. for the last round I used an I hook because I tend to crochet tight and this helped me make it loose, other then not having crisp corners like yours mine turned out pretty and the little girl will be nice and warm in it :D
