Question

border on a blanket
hi my question is, I've made a simple blanket for my mum but i have uneven ends its normal at the ends and goes in at the side its looks like I've been dropping stiches somewhere so i fixed that and added so that it looks kind like an hourglass what type of border should i put on it to make it look nice and in order to do a border do i need to do a slip stich all the way around

Answer
Tonya:

Its not that bad, one thing you can try is to block it into shape. That is one alternative.

To add a border, it will depend on what type of border you want to add. If it's  decorative one, you can extend the pattern to the edges, or find a pattern of a border you like / compliments the piece.

I think by just blocking it, it will do the job. It's a very nice piece.

Hope that helped. Happy Hooking
