Here's this week's CAL video:
Instructions:
Ok so once your blanket has gotten to be as big as you'd like it to be, save some yarn for the edging! Still not sure how big you want it? Check out my blanket sizing guide below for help!
So, let's jump into that edging, shall we?
Edging Instructions:
Note: We're using the same 8.0 mm "L" hook and Super Saver Chunky yarn (same as blanket). The edging is worked in just one round.
Round 1: Tie the new yarn into any corner space and chain 1. *Work 4 sc into the corner space. Work a sc into each stitch along the side of the square. Repeat from * around the square. Join with a sl st to close round.
Fasten off and weave in any ends that remain.
OK, let's take a quick peek at the schedule...so far we've gone over supplies, sizing, the blanket stitch tutorial, color changes, and edging. Next week, we'll add all of those finishing touches:
