I mentioned on Instagram<\/a>, a few weeks ago, that my uncle passed away. I made this blanket for my aunt. My uncle’s sister, who made the long road trip in from Mexico, started the border for me when I told her I didn’t know what to do. The blanket is a 40-round granny square, so I made a simple single crochet border that she worked over<\/i>. Essentially, she crocheted into my last granny square round. <\/p>\n

What resulted were these beautiful olas<\/i>, or waves<\/i>. I loved it and my aunt thought it was pretty, so when we ran out of yarn, I promised to finish it. I thought I would share the instructions, since I had never seen a border like this. It resembles a scallop, but they lean to the side, so it’s more wavy.<\/p>\n

I made a video, which I’ve embedded below, but I want to put out the written instructions first.
\nUS terminology is used throughout<\/i>.
\nYou should know:<\/b> chain (CH<\/b>), single crochet (SC<\/b>), and treble\/triple crochet (TR<\/b>). This is the pattern for working around a granny square. You should have an uneven number of rounds, so there is an even number of chain spaces (ch-sp<\/b>) between the corner spaces. <\/p>\n

\nAttach your yarn in a corner and chain 1.
\n[SC in same space, Ch 2, 5 TR in same space. *Skip next cluster of stitches and space, SC in center of next cluster, SC in next stitch, SC in next space, 5 TR in same space; Repeat from * to last ch-space of this side of the square, skip last cluster of stitches and SC in corner space, Ch 2] Repeat between [ ] for 4 sides, slst into first SC. Fasten off and weave in ends.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
