Pattern Instructions

Ch3 at the beginning of the row counts as a double crochet stitch. This border requires you to have multiples of 6 sts +1 on each side of the blanket, including the corner stitches. The section between * * is the section that needs to be repeated. The section between ( ) are crocheted in the same stitch or chain space. The section between ** ** includes the section between * * and will be repeated on each side of the blanket.

This border is crocheted in the round without turning; each round is closed with a sl st.

Round 1:

1. Join in any corner of the blanket with a slip knot, (ch3, dc, ch2, V st) in the corner stitch.
2. Sk2, *V st, sk2*, repeat from * until you reach the next corner stitch.
3. ** (V st, ch2, V st) in the corner st, sk2, *V st, sk2*, repeat from * until you reach the next corner stitch **, repeat the entire section from ** on each side of the blanket.
4. Close the round with a sl st in the top chain of ch3 you made at the beginning of the round.
