– Crochet Edgings –
Lately, I've been skipping the crochet edging on some of my more simple pieces. Sometimes I just like a straight edge. Other times, I may be working on a project that is so vibrant or simple that it demands a particular type of edging. With so many to choose from, don't be intimidated about working those corners or trying something new. You can practice on a swatch or rip out what you don't like until it's absolutely lovely! With these patterns, you are sure to find something perfect for your project regardless of style or attitude. Let's scroll down to view the edgings I've selected for this roundup and get to crocheting! (I'm ready to use a combination of these for my Lily’s Garden Striped Granny Afghan!)
This stitch combination is so pretty and works well for any blankets, linens, or towels. See it HERE.
I adore this Crochet Bow Edging from My Picot. Click HERE to see how it's done.
I have a secret about this cupcake stitch pattern. No, not really a secret, but LOOK what I made from it! Cupcake Lovers Beanie & Scarf Set is a free pattern set available here: https://simplycollectiblecrochet.com/2016/03/adorable-cupcake-lovers-beanie-free-crochet-pattern-infant-adult/

This is beautiful and possibly one of my favorites. Lacy Crochet Trim with Hearts can be found HERE.

I would like the pattern of the cream colored trim that is edging the turquoise blanket. I can’t find it anywhere on this. Please send me the pattern.
Thank you.

Your link does not work for the first border. There isn't a name on it but it's a lacy border done with a natural colored yarn.

Does anyone know where I can find a simple crochet Choo Choo train edging pattern for a baby blanket. I've seen it, but don't know how it was made.

I’ve only been crocheting a few years now & just staring to get halfway decent at it. I just found out I’m going to be a grandma ????so I thought I’d make a blanket and in searching for edges I found you! I just love these ... don’t know that I can do them but I sure am going to try! I think the elephant one will be perfect for my basket weave baby blanket! Thank you so much!!!
