Easy Crocheted Afghan or Blanket Edging - Free Pattern



Our weekly charity crafters make a lot of small lapghans and baby blankies. We tend to look for quick and easy patterns so that we can produce enough items to donate on a regular basis.

Along the way, I developed an edging of my own that works well with any pattern in which the final round or row has groups or clusters or other clumps of stitches.

I simply do 3 SC in the corners, then CH 2 (or CH 3 depending on whether it seems to need that number) and SC between the next two clusters, then CH 2 (or 3) and SC between the next two clusters, and so on.
The result looks a lot like a sewn blanket stitch. I will try to post a better photo with a real close-up but hopefully, you can see it in these.
