Border

Row 1: Once all squares were joined, I single crocheted with the primary color around the entire afghan.

Row 2: For the accent color, I chose Red Heart Country Rose. I made one row of single crochet around with this color.

Row 3: Changing to Soft White, work 1 puff stitch, sk 1 stitch, chain 2 and repeat all the way around. A puff stitch is: YO, insert hook, draw loop through, YO, insert hook, draw loop through, YO, insert hook, draw loop through. YO and draw through all 6 loops on hook.

Row 4: With Country Rose, single crochet all the way around.

Row 5: With Soft White, 1 single crochet, 3 chains, skip two stitches. This pattern is repeated all the way around. This makes chain-3 loops around the blanket.

Row 6: With Soft White, slip stitch into the first chain-3 loop and make one chain. Single crochet in the same chain-3 loop, * chain 5, single crochet in next chain-3 loop. Repeat from * all the way around ending with five chains and slip stitching to the first single crochet.

Row 7: With Soft White, slip stitch into the first chain-5 loop and make one chain. Single crochet in chain-5 loop, * chain 6, slip stitch into fourth chain from hook, chain 2, single crochet into next chain-5 loop. Repeat from * all the way around ending with two chains and slip stitching to the first single crochet.

Fasten off and weave in all ends.
