Lacy Border – Pattern Description


This Easy Lace Border, also known as the Chain Border, is as easy as it gets but gives a beautiful frame to your blanket.

The Lacy Border is constructed with overlapping clusters of double crochet stitches crocheted around the border, each 3 stitches wide.

It doesn’t require a special pattern for corners and that makes it a beginner-friendly pattern that can be adjusted 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.

I recommend you crochet a base row on your edge before starting the border. Use any plain stitch for your base row, I always make a single crochet row around my blankets before crocheting any border.

If you are making this border for a blanket, check out my base row tutorial for blankets with double crochet rows or base row tutorial for blankets with treble rows to give you an idea of how a base row is made based on the different types of stitches your blanket rows are made with.

Scroll down for the written pattern with photos and the step-by-step video tutorial.

Base:
Start with a base row to make stitches all around your blanket. My base row is made out of single crochet stitches.

Start in one corner and make 3sc. Crochet along the edge and make 3sc in each of the corners.

When you have reached the beginning of your round, sl st in the first sc you have made, then sl st in the next stitch to bring the yarn in the corner.
