My crochet blanket is FINISHED!
Yesterday afternoon I did the first row of double crochet border and sat in bed last night to do the second row....................I unpicked all of the border and started again...........................
I did three double crochet in each corner and increased by three double crochet in each corner for the second row but this made the corners round. I was after a more square look. I unpicked it and this time in each corner did two double crochet, chain one, followed by another two double crochet - this made it more square and I was happy with that.
I only crocheted two rows of double crochet for the border. I did start to do three rows but Mark said it looked nice left at two rows. I asked Anais and Roman and said I would go with the majority. It was 3-0 to leave the border at two rows deep.
Here is a sneak peek as there is not enough room in the caravan to lay it flat and I didn't want to lay it on the grass in case it got dirty.................
