Here is what I’m working on!

I’m using a 5mm hook and the Baby Bee brand yarn.

Notes:  Instead of chaining turns, I use the stack single crochet.  It leaves a nice smooth edge,

OR you can turn and chain two.

She has some great tutorials!!!

Row 2: Turn, single crochet stack (counts as a dc), dc in each st across (142)

Row 3: Turn, single crochet stack, dc in same st, skip 2, *3dc in same st, skip 2*, 2dc in last st.

Row 4:  Turn, single crochet stack, 3dc in each space across, dc in last st. (142)

Row 5:  Turn, single crochet stack, dc in each st across to last 2 stitches, skip 1 st, dc in last st.  (142)

Rows 6 -9: Repeat Rows 2 – 5

From here on you will be repeating rows 2 – 5, until you reach your desired length.

Once you have created your last stitch, you are going to start your edging by changing your color and turning your work.
Make sure all your tails are sewn in.

Border:
Rd 1: Sc. In the next st, you will use the technique below. Make sure you place 3 stitches in each corner:

Step by Step instructions on this technique:

Insert hook thru the left post of the last st and thru the next stitch of your blanket edge, Yarn over, pull thru st and first loop on hook. You will have two loops on hook. Yarn over, pull thru both loops.

Rd 2: SSC in your beginning stitch of your edging, dc around, with 3dc in each corner:

Rd 3: Change color, sc in first st, hdc around, 3hdc in each corner.

Finish off. You can use as many or as few colors as you like.
