Tigger asked about the borders on my mosaic blanket
Here is a very simple tutorial first you do a slip stitch border all around the blanket
You can see both sides
You then use this border to pick up the stitches and make one Double crochet (us) into every stitch
Go all around and make sure you do two stitches with a Space in the corners
Go all around and make sure you do two stitches with a Space in the corners
You then do the same on the other side
As you can see you now have one border on each side and the ends are sandwiched between the two
You then do a final round of single crochet(us) using only the two middle strands of the “v”
It seals the ends between and finished off the blanket nicely
There are clever people who will do mosaic in the round for each side of the borders, but I haven tried that as yet
So there you have it. No more seeing in ends
I do knot the ends and then trim them so they fit nicely into the envelope created by the twin borders
A simple and clever idea
Hope this had helped
Πολη Ωραια (I'm not even sure I spelled that correctly) or as a Danish friend of mine would say: "most excellent". (The Danish accent makes it sound even better.) Thank you loads and we will definitely try that on the next one we do.
ReplyDeleteHope it helps. Please post pics when done
DeleteVery clever and it does look easy too. Even I could do that.... I think
ReplyDeleteThanks Angela
Mosaic crochet is really easy. It truely is
DeleteSeriously if I can do it anyone can
I love the effect of mosaic crochet. Once my current obsession eases and I get back to crochet I will give it a go.
