So that’s one of my 16 for 2016 done. It looks sooooo much better than it did. This is one of the blankets I made (all details here) when I was still newish to crochet in 2012. I’d fudged the edging, such as it was, and knew it too. These half treble, double and double crochet spike stitch rows really finish it a treat. I decided on the same Attic 24 inspired border as I crocheted for my Zesty Raspberry Ripple blanket. It’s pretty but not too elaborate.
It’s a good feeling doing a proper job! Now on to those annoying baby hexagons…

Very pretty, and the summer garden one?
Thank you. Plus the message that I sent you via email…
Pretty edging. Just finishes off nicely.
Thank you Jane, I’m glad I have finished it properly now.
This is beautiful! I feel inspired to make a ripple blanket.
They are relaxing and easy when you get into the flow. I do check each set of stitches as I go, after about every three lots, because it’s very easy to become distracted. Thank you!
I too have a blanket that was edged when not so confident or as skilled as now. You have pinched my conscience and I know I should redo the edging on it…. this looks beautiful. xx
Do it – I’m so glad I got round to mine, it’s really added to it. Thank you!
Gorgeous blanket and I love the edging. Well done.
Thank you Sarah Jane!
That’s really beautiful.. the color selections are so pretty together. I admire you for edging yours.. I never edge my ripples.

Thanks Teresa. I think they look so much more ‘finished’ edged, I’m much happier with this now it’s done properly.
Hope you had a lovely Valentine’s Day with your lovely Mr.
now THAT’s what I call a perfect finish. :-)
Thanks very much Jill.
Hi Rachel! I just saw your comment to me on Pinterest. How are you? Your blanket is beautiful!
Hello Erin, can you please message me on my blog Facebook page?
Thank you, I made the blanket when you were still blogging. Time really has flown!
