So, you've made a blanket and now you're looking for an edging. Congratulations on being almost done with your project! It's always such a great feeling!
This edging can be worked around any square or rectangle shape.
To get started with this, attach your yarn to one of the corners. Next, work single crochet stitches around the perimeter of the blanket. Do this so that you end up with a multiple of 4+1. That's a multiple of four and then add one more stitch.
Then continue on with the pattern listed below.
This pattern was published by Royal Society in 1919. No designer is credited.
