This is what your blanket will look like at this point. Before moving on to crochet the blanket border, fasten off ALL ends and trim off.
Blanket Border
Round 1: Continue with Peach Yarn, working back across the blanket, Ch 1, [sc, ch 2, sc] all around, with additional [sc, ch 2, sc] in each corner. (See photos below.)
Round 2: Join White Yarn in first ch-2 sp, ch 1, sc in same ch-2 sp, *5 dc in next ch-2 sp, sc in next ch-2 sp*. Repeat * around, ending with 5 dc in last ch-2 sp, join in beg sc. Fasten off.
The picture on the LEFT shows Blanket Border Round 1 working down the side of the blanket. The picture on the RIGHT shows Blanket Border Round 1 working across the bottom of the blanket.
And there you have it, folks! You’re all done! Here’s what the scallop edge looks like around the blanket once you’ve completed Blanket Border Round 2.
Even my cat enjoys how snuggly soft this blanket is.
I love these pretty crochet stitches so much!
I’m ending this tutorial with some cat peets. 🐱🐾 I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Let me know how your blanket turns out!

Madeline - Hello! I love this pattern, and would like to make it for my niece, who is expecting her first child. Question: are the 2 yarns the same weight? The Lion Brand looks like it’s #4 and the Caron (white) looks like it’s a 3. Is that right? Thanks!February 27, 2020 – 12:27 pm
Susie - Hi Madeline – good eye! Yes, you’re right, they are not the same weight. It still works out okay and the different weight even adds just a bit of texture too. I think you’ll like the results. Congratulations on the new member of your family!February 28, 2020 – 2:27 pm
Darlene - This is a sweet pattern. Thanks!July 16, 2019 – 6:56 am

Thank youApril 30, 2019 – 4:49 pm

Debra - Hi Susie – In row 2, what do you mean by ‘in end of chain 2’? Am I just going into the chain 2 space? Your blanket is precious!April 3, 2019 – 3:25 pm
Susie - Hi Debra! Which Row are you stuck on? I’ll try to guide you through it :)April 3, 2019 – 9:06 pm
Elaine - Does this blanket look wavy as your crocheting it? I am new at the reading these patterns and some things seem difficult for me to read. Round 2 is difficult to understand for me to understand.October 15, 2018 – 10:31 am
Kathlynn - Hi I love this blanket pattern. I was just wondering before I start making it I wanted to know exactly what brand of yarn did you use and what can I use and how many does it take to complete.August 31, 2017 – 12:38 pm
Susie - Hi Kathlynn, I used one ball of each color. For the peach color, here is the link for the yarn: Lion Brand Yarn in Creamsicle. Here is the link for white: Simply Caron Light White. Let me know if you need additional info! Best of luck!September 1, 2017 – 12:49 pm
Cindy Pons - ThanksJuly 31, 2017 – 12:34 am
Susie - You’re welcome ;-)July 31, 2017 – 9:57 am
carol plant - Hello – i just found this blanket on pinterest – i just found out yesterday i am about to have a 3rd grandbaby and of course wanted to make a blanket for the new arrival – i love this pattern (and the colour although i am going to have to go neutral) i am going shopping for yarn this week eventhough the baby is not due till the end of february – cant wait to get started on it – p.s. my cat does exactly the same thing as your especially if i am quilting – i guess it the warmth of the quilt and the comfiness of the yarn – these things obviously need their stamp of approval – i will try to remember to let you know how this turns out but it could be a long time – i am going to check out your other things as well regards carolJuly 18, 2017 – 5:40 am
Susie - Hi Carol – Congratulations on the addition to your growing family! I would love to know how your blanket turns out so do share photos when you’re done (after your kitty has approved, of course!) Thank you so much for writing to me today! I always love receiving mail like this! 🤓July 18, 2017 – 9:18 am
sarah wilson - THANK you for this beautiful pattern,July 6, 2017 – 2:21 pm
Andrea Dickens - This is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for! So excited to make it. What are the finished dimensions?June 28, 2017 – 2:56 pm

Wendy - This is a beautiful blanket. What brand of yarn did you use?June 5, 2017 – 8:55 pm
Susie - Hi Wendy, for this blanket, I used Lion Brand Yarn in Creamsicle Thanks for writing! :)June 6, 2017 – 8:03 pm
Christine - may i ask why you have so many loose ends, why don’t you change and continue because the distance is not so big. Thank you.April 8, 2017 – 11:33 am
Susie - Hi Christine, now that you’ve mentioned it, I suppose I could have made it work by carrying the yarn over without tying off at the end of each row! I don’t know why I didn’t think of it while I was crocheting the blanket! That’s what makes blogging so wonderful – such a great exchange of ideas! :)April 10, 2017 – 8:05 pm
Donna - This is a beautiful blanket and a pleasure to work. Thank you!May 31, 2017 – 9:42 pm
Susie - You’re welcome! I’m happy you enjoyed the pattern! :)May 31, 2017 – 9:57 pm
