Materials

Step-by-Step Pattern

Step 1: Prepare the Fabric

• Pre-pierce small holes along the edge (especially corners) with a thin needle for easier crocheting.

Step 2: Blanket Stitch Foundation

• Attach yarn at a corner.
• Work simple blanket stitches (buttonhole stitch) around the fabric edge.
  • Pull yarn from back to front, making three chains between each stitch (about 1 cm apart).

Step 3: First Crochet Round (Border Base)

• Close the row with a slip stitch.
• Move to the corner and work:
  • Chain 3 (acts as double crochet), chain 3 (for space), double crochet in same space
• For sides:
  • Chain 4, skip one chain space, next space work 4 double crochets.
  • Repeat: Chain 4, skip space, single double crochet + chain 3 + double crochet in next space, then chain 4, skip space, 4 double crochets.

Step 4: Build the Border

• Work multiple rounds, turning at corners with a V-stitch (double crochet, chain 3, double crochet).
• For each round, continue chaining and grouping as established, always adapting to keep corners neat.

Step 5: Adding Picots (Final Round)

• At each group of stitches, work:
  • 3 double crochets, 3 chains (picot), slip stitch into first chain to form a picot.
  • Skip a stitch, repeat groupings, adjusting at corners for smooth turns.

Step 6: Finishing

• End with a slip stitch in the third chain of your starting group.
• Weave in ends securely with a tapestry needle.
• Gently stretch and shape your border.

Finishing Touches

Tutor recommends steam blocking for best results:

• Place a damp cloth atop your work, use a steam iron to straighten and define stitches (do not iron directly onto crochet).

Tip

If your stitches feel tight, swap to a double crochet for corners or use a slightly larger hook. This ensures your border lays flat and neat!
