Finishing the blanket

To neatly finish the blanket, I added a light blue edge on both sides using single crochet stitches. I crocheted 1 single crochet along the edges of single crochet rows and 2 single crochet along the edges of rows with puff stitches. For the best results, consider blocking the blanket.

I hope you had a great time crocheting this blanket. I’d love to see how your blanket turned out. Drop me a message or tag me on the socials so I can admire your work. Can’t wait to see it. Lisa
