Dot Border Pattern – Pattern Description


Today I am sharing with you an easy crochet border you can use to decorate your blankets and other edges: The Dot Border.

The Dot Border is constructed with puff stitches separated by slip stitches on top of a single crochet row.

It can be crocheted with double crochets, trebles, or double treble stitches. You can also space them out as you wish. Today I will show you how to crochet the dots using double crochet stitches spaced 5 stitches apart.

This border doesn’t require a special pattern for the corners and that makes it beginner-friendly and adjustable to any project.

It works great for any kind of edge, from square and rectangle projects such as blankets and afghans to triangle edges such as shawls or straight edges such as scarves. You can even crochet it on a round edge such as a dress.

Scroll down for the step-by-step written and photo instructions or check out the video tutorial linked below if you are a visual learner. And check out the swatches for more inspiration.

Pattern Instructions


  • TIP: If you don’t have the exact multiple of stitches in your edge, crochet more or less slip stitches in between the dots so the dots fall on the corners.
  • The section between ** is the section that needs to be repeated.

NOTE: Crochet one round of sc stitches around your edge in the same color. Starting from the corner, crochet 3sc in each corner and 1sc in each stitch. Don’t fasten off, continue with the next round.
