Edge or Border Rounds
Below is a chart that has the beginning of the border and the end of the border, as it comes around the corner. I hope this is a help to you. You will find the complete written pattern below.
Round 1:
Note:
a.The stitch count needed for the lace edge is a combination of 15 + 9 + 2 for the Heirloom Shells blanket. If you would like to use the border crochet pattern on another item, the stitch combination is 15 + 11.
b. The 15 plus 9 stitches is what you execute going down the side and across the bottom. The very center stitch of the three stitches placed together is considered the “corner stitch” and is not counted in the stitch count. The stitches on either side of the “corner” stitch will be counted as the “2” stitches indicated in Note “a”.
Let’s Start Crocheting The Border
After finishing Row 75, turn slightly, place three stitches together, right beside the last stitch; (this will make the first corner) Place marker in the 2nd of the three stitches, as this will be the corner stitch. Slightly turn your work, sc down the side 99x; place 3 sc st’s at the corner; place a marker in the second st. to denote the corner st (101 sc down the first side; inclusive of 2 stitches from each corner)
Note: sc two stitches together somewhere in the middle of this bottom portion. It can be random. You need 84 st’s plus 2 stitches from the corners.
Turn slightly and sc in each st across the bottom, with 3 sc st’s in the last st, placing marker in the 2nd st to denote the corner st. (86 sc across the bottom; inclusive of 2 stitches from each corner.)
Turn slightly and sc up the last side, 99x, placing 3 st’s as close as you can to the first st of Row 75, placing marker in that 1st of the two st’s, to denote the corner st. join w/ slp st to beg. sc of Row 74. (101 sc up the 2nd side; inclusive of 2 stitches from each corner
(Corner stitches are not counted)
86 stitches across the bottom
87 stitches across the top. This extra stitch is absorbed at the beg. of Side 1 of Round 2 , when executing 2 slp st’s.
101 stitches on each long side
4 corner stitches
