Question
I finished a blanket and realized that my one edge is uneven. Would doing a single crochet border around it make it appear to be more even? I hate to pull it out and start over. What about putting fringe on the uneven side? Thank you for your help.
Hey, Christa! By uneven, do you mean kinda wavy? If so you can do a sc border, and when you get to a place that's uneven, fill it in with dc's. It just depends on how bad the "uneven" places are,wheather this will work or not. Outside of this, the only other solution is to unravel back to where the problem started. Fringe won't help, as it will just exaggerate the un-eveness! Sorry I can't offer a better solution!
Best Wishes, Bea
