(this is an updated version of a pattern posted back in 2011 - photos of edging on scarf and on lapghan at end of post)
Our charity crafting group has recently been obsessed with the diagonal stitch. This stitch looks very nice when making a project (scarf, lap cover, etc.) from lots of different color scraps. However, the edge is often not very attractive or neat. I wanted a sort of blanket-stitch look and worked this one up. This will also work well, I believe, on a granny square type of pattern.
A beginner should be able to do this. Photos of edged scarf and lap cover below.
=======================
Use same hook size and yarn weight as that used with project
=======================
Abbreviations
ch chain
ss slip stitch
sc single crochet
=======================
Join with ss in space created on one corner; 3 sc for corner shaping
Edging:
Ch 3, sc in space between blocks; ch 3, continue around, with 3 sc in each corner.
Easy, huh? Following are photos of edging on both a scarf and a lapghan.
