Can You Use This Zig-Zag Crochet Border on Any Blanket?
Yes, you can! This beautiful crochet border pattern can be adapted for any blanket that has a square or rectangular shape. To do so, make sure that the foundation round of your edging is a multiple of 4 plus one stitch. This will help you achieve a nice clean finish.
What Crochet Stitches Create the Zig-Zag Texture?
The border is created with the overlay crochet technique, which allows to work multiple colors and produces a highly detailed texture. The designer uses simple stitches here, as well as front post and back post treble crochets that form the zig-zag motifs. It’s a great pattern for intermediate crocheters who would like to enhance their crafting technique.
What Crochet Hook Size Should You Use for This Edging?
It can be a hook of any size. For best results, however, you should use the same hook that you used to create the body of your blanket. This way, your project will keep a coherent look. The sample visible in the photos was made using yarn in 4 different shades.
