How my work looks after my last round of single crochet + 1 ch.<br \/>\n2. Insert hook in stitch immediately to the RIGHT and pull yarn through (2 loops on hook).<br \/>\n3. Pull yarn through both loops.<br \/>\n4. Repeat 2-3.<\/p>\n<p>After a few stitches, you should have a beautiful border going. I&#8217;ll be working on my edging this evening. I started it and then realized I should share it for the folks who are looking for a nice, simple border for their work. I&#8217;ll share photos of the finished blanket tomorrow.
