Fun and Different Rope Edge to Border Your Blankets.

Rope Edging Crochet Border

Do you ever debate over adding a crochet border to your afghan projects?  Sometimes you just need a simple single crochet around it to tidy it up.  Sometimes, a nice lace pattern adds just the right touch.  Borders can be simple and yet add enough to the project that you don't want to go without them.

When working textured crochet designs, I always add a border but often struggle when deciding which style to choose.  I don't want the the border to take away from the texture, I want it to compliment it.

Reversible Textured Chevron Afghan Crochet Pattern
The Reversible Textured Chevron Afghan is a perfect example.  A lace border just wouldn't look right and I wanted more than just a simple single crochet around the edge.  I needed something that would flow with  all the post stitches and I came up with the Rope Edging.  This edging is worked with only the Front Post double crochet stitch but the way you insert your hook around the stitches makes all the difference!  
The Reversible Textured Chevron Afghan crochet pattern includes a photo tutorial of the stitching but I thought it would be nice to create a video to help also.  

I hope you enjoy working this stitch combination and hope you'll join me on Social Media to stay in touch with new projects and designs by clicking the icons below and following me!
Have a wonderful time crocheting!
​Kate

    Hey there!  Thank you for joining my blog here at Crafting Friends Designs. Grab your hook, some yarn and get comfy as we crochet some fun, unique and beautiful projects together.  
    I'm Kate and crochet is my passion.  I've been crocheting for 30+ years and as you can see from the selection of designs on my site, blankets are my obsession.  I absolutely love creating something that will wrap my love around friends and family when they're in need of comfort. 
    Having 4 beautiful girls of my own has also inspired many infant, toddler and child size dresses.  They are my biggest cheerleaders and have enjoyed wearing the things I've made them.
