Secret Garden Blanket Crochet Pattern

Can you believe that we're already working the border of the Secret Garden Blanket CAL? I love that we've been able to work a full sized blanket at a manageable pace and accomplish so many fun stitch sections!

Rounds 56-63 are the full border instructions. This border completely compliments the blanket and makes it stand out beautifully rather than just using a basic square border stitch.

When I designed the Sunny Day Blanket, I knew I wanted a fun border to really make the blanket stand out. As I searched through stitch patterns, I debated on using the border we're working now or the border that I ended up choosing for that blanket. They are so similar yet worked differently. I think one of the things that made me choose the border I did for the Sunny Day Blanket was that it didn't have as many Picots.

Prepare yourself! The border we're working this week has a LOT of Picots!!! However, They really do make the border for this blanket and the final result is stunning so hang in there!
