Today we’ll be focusing on the finish work of the blanket. Last week we learned about the stitch sequence, the sizing, multiples, and changing colors. This week, we’ll be wrapping up our project and adding the finishing touches. Be sure to check out the video and here’s a few tips to get you started:
- Be sure the eye of you needle is large enough to accommodate the yarn you are using.
- When weaving in ends, only weave the color of the tail into the corresponding color section.
- Try to make you finish work as neat as possible to show off your gorgeous crochet work!
