FAQ

What is crochet lace Edging used for?

Projects for which you can use crochet lace borders are genuinely numerous. You can add them to all sorts of blankets. However, baby blankets will look particularly lovely with such delicate lace edging. A kitchen towel border will prove as another great idea.

Apart from that, lace trims look beautiful with garments. Scarves and shawls are most often edged with them. Dresses and blouses, on the other hand, often have lace edging on the sleeves. As you can see, the possible ways in which you can use lace crochet borders are indeed plentiful!

Should you use a smaller crochet hook for border?

You may need a smaller crochet size to make the border than the one you have crocheted your work with. Let’s consider an example. If you made your project using a 4 mm hook, you may need a 3.5 mm hook to work the border. What’s more, if you tend to crochet things loosely, work the border for your project a bit tighter.

Do crochet blankets need a border?

Not every blanket has to have a border. Whether your project will get edging is really up to you. Personal preference plays a large part in that respect. However, beautiful edging will always add an amazing finished look to a blanket.

It doesn’t necessarily have to be a super intricate edging, and a single crochet border sometimes also does the work. The crab stitch border illustrates this idea very well.
