Here are 5 borders that are simple but so effective when you're looking for a little something extra to finish your project. I'd love to know your favorite "go to" border! If you have a tutorial request for other borders, please let me know. xx

I did the rectangle project I used three strands of yarn white black and blue pink and green colors. It turned out awesome. I am going to use it as my coffee cup blanket. It's very colorful and the color changes since I made the yarn variegated. The texture is like a rug.

Such a great video. Very much needed. Sometimes i think designers want to hold on to their "border magic" and never reveal them. Yes, the slip stitch around first gives your project and extra touch. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤

Hi Roz First, your cat is so cute. I love a baby yelling or talking and the cat playing or a dog if people have one in the videos. It's real life. 😊❤ I love your videos Roz. I learn something new from every one of them. Even if I know how to do what you are showing, you always show an easier way. I watch your videos over and over again just to relax. I love crocheting but sometimes I can't. My pain is too bad so I watch your videos. I have saved every one of them. I so loo forward to seeing the notification pop up. I am obsessed with granny squares I want to make a very large blanket with different size squares, rows, rows around squares etc. Do you think you will ever do a CAL? Maybe this summer? You are such a fantastic teacher. You have such the perfect voice too! 😁 Thank you for sharing such fabulous tutorials with us. Have a blessed night and a blessed week. 😊🥰❤

I like all of these border stiches. I think it's because I like simple borders that don't "take over" the main piece. I have been using your zig zag stich on a lot of my projects, Roz. That's a very eye appealing border. The crab stich is a favorite but I have always had complications with finishing it off. I'll try your method. I've never done the spider stich so I'll make up a small piece to give it a try. This video is saved and will be used often by me. Super video!!!💖~Joan~
