New Crochet Pattern: Blanket Border Collection Volume 2!

written by

Hello, lovely crafter! Today I am proud to announce that I have gathered nineteen more of my blanket borders in one place and modified them so that they are written for any size blanket! This bundle (volume 2!) of blanket borders is available as a convenient PDF, and I even included 2 PDFs, one with US Terms and one with UK Terms.

Why Make a Border Collection?

This collection comes after popular demand from folks asking me to create one place where all of my borders can be found. Every once in a while I would have someone ask me if there is a place to find all of my crochet borders in one spot. So I got thinking! Turns out I had enough for 2 volumes of borders!

In case you didn’t know, I have designed over 100 full crochet blankets. My goal at first was to take all of those borders and make a few volumes of border collections, but when I started to look, I realized that I do repeat borders sometimes in my patterns, so I had to change my plans.

Techniques Included

There are many techniques which may be new to you or which you may already be familiar with.

Some of them are:

  • Bobble. Cluster, and Popcorn
  • “Beginning” stitches (a great way to start a new round)
  • Using a stitch formula for a border foundation round
  • Deciding how many stitched to place on each side
  • And much more!

When I counted up all of the unique patterns, I counted 38 that were unique enough, meaning there aren’t a bunch of borders that are very similar. It felt natural then to create 2 volumes with 19 border patterns each. Perfect!

Then I set out on the long road of modifying the first round of every pattern to be US Terms single crochet and written with a formula of X stitches plus Y. Don’t worry if you aren’t familiar with this type of stitch formula! I explain how to use it in the beginning of the PDF.

Featured in Volume 1

Volume 1 has 19 unique border patterns, but they range from simple to intermediate. The borders have anywhere from 2 rounds to 19 rounds as well, so you can pick a narrow border or a wide border for your blanket.

I hope you enjoy this collection of crochet borders! It was a lot of work to choose and gather them together and then to modify them for this purpose. Have fun with them!
