Easy Beginner Border For C2C Blankets (No Stitch Counting)
Easy Beginner Border For C2C Blankets – Pattern Description
Looking for a c2c blanket border? This easy border pattern is just the right one for you. Plus, it works on any c2c project no matter how many c2c tiles you have on the width or length of your piece.
This is such an easy border to make, that it does not require you to count stitches or calculate corner placement, but it will give you neat and straight edges and give a finished look to your c2c blanket.
With this c2c blanket border pattern, I’m giving you two options:
- you can either crochet the first row as a border base row onto which you can add your choice of border
- you can crochet both rows for a finished look on your c2c project
Either way, your c2c project will have straight, neat edges and beautifully rounded corners.
