"Depending on the height of the stitches used in the blanket design, you will need to make one or more single crochet stitches per each row along the side of your blanket. The bottom and top edges of your blanket only require you to crochet 1sc in each stitch, while the corner stitches will have 3sc to help carry over the yarn to the other side. Today I'm going to show you how to crochet a simple single crochet border for blankets that are made with double crochet stitches or have double crochet stitches at the end of the rows, such as the classic basketweave stitch or the gingham pattern."
