What materials will I need to crochet this edging?

Well first, you’re going to need something to crochet the edging onto. I designed this edging specifically for my Fall Feels Throw Blanket, an autumn crochet afghan made of 48 granny squares. You can get the free written pattern and video instructions for all the squares, the joining method, and the edging here.

You can use this edging on any crochet blanket, or you can use it around the edges of items made with other materials, as long as there are holes around the edges to stitch into. If you use this edging on something really interesting, be sure to share a photo with me because I would love to see it! You can share photos of your finished projects with me in my Facebook group.

I used worsted weight Cascade Yarns Pacific for my edging, because it is the same yarn that I used for my blanket. This yarn can be purchased or ordered at most specialty yarn shops. But you can use any yarn or thread you like as long as it is a good fit for the item you are edging.

You will need a crochet hook that is the right size for your yarn or thread. I used a size J Furls Streamline crochet hook for my edging.

You will also need a tapestry needle to weave in your ends when you are all finished.

The 4 corners of the blanket each have a ch sp that will be referred to as blanket corners. Each square has a corner that will be referred to as a corner ch sp if it is not one of the 4 blanket corners.

As you place 3 sc in each blanket corner, place m in the center of those 3 sts. As you crochet Rnd 2, move each m up into centermost ch sp.

The numbers in these written instructions are specific to the Fall Feels Throw Blanket. If you are using this crochet edging tutorial for something else, you will need each side of Rnd 1 to finish with a number of single crochet stitches that is a multiple of 8 plus 2 more, with 1 additional single crochet in each corner of your item.
