RE: Needlework Monday - Ends Upon Ends - Crocheted Baby Blanket Progress Report!
I have just finished making a baby blanket for my first Grandchild, and I found that by knitting/crocheting them in with the next row when you change color, it helps secure them in place, and then making the border for it later just to keep it looking neat..My blanket has only 3 colors..
the blanket turned out wonderful. I'm sure your gift will be very pleased
Hi @icybc! Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a suggestion. I love the blanket you made for your first grand baby, and congratulations! I love the light color combo you chose. So once you added your border did your ends stay in well? Someone above also suggested the same technique and then stated that washing the blanket once or twice will secure the ends in even more.
Thanks again for commenting :)
Hi @crosheille, once the border goes on, the connected color strings stay inside the border as you knit/crochet it right in the stitch itself. It didn't unravel even after I washed it..Thanks for hosting..I finally have a place to share my hobby :-)
I've dealt with ends the exact way @icybc describes--crocheting them in with the stitches themselves--but not when the colors were drastically different. And I tie knots for sure :)
That’s so great! Looks like this will be my solution since a few of you have tried it this way and it worked ;) Thanks so much for your input!
That’s great to know! Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
It’s absolutely my pleasure! I’m so glad you found a place to share what you love to do. If you ever have any questions just ask @crystalize or myself ;) It’s so nice meeting you!
