Notes

If you want to add an additional border, you can join yarn with a sl st to any corner. Single crochet evenly around the entire blanket. In each corner place (sc, ch 1, sc). When you get back around to your first st, join with a sl st. Now you can add any border you like or finish off. Remember any changes will require more yarn.
