Pom Pom Edge

I was looking 

for a cute border

to put on 

a granny square blanket

I just finished 

and came across this

I needed to modify it 

for my blanket

and wanted 

to remember how I did it

so I thought I would post 

how I did it here

I just love this cute pom pom stitch 

To start join with 

a single crochet

then chain 6

3 double crochet

in 3rd chain from hook 

holding back last stitch

of each double crochet

on your hook

You will have 4 stitches

on your hook

Yarn over and pull thru all loops

(cluster stitch made)

Chain 3

Make a second cluster stitch 

in the loop that closed

 your first cluster stitch

Join with a slip stitch

where your first cluster begins

To do this 

go thru the stitch

leaving 1 part of the stitch 

in the back

 and 2 parts in the front

Chain 3

Single crochet in your next space

There you have it....

Cute little pompoms

along the edge

of your blanket

They do take 

a little while

to make 

but

are well worth

the

cute factor

that they give

to my blanket!!

I love color!!

This was a fun little project

that I have been wanting

to make

I had this small green table 

from Ikea

that needed a little something

I dug thru my box of cotton yarn

and picked some bright colors

And now I have a cute little 

cover for my table

The Perfect Gift

I have been steadily working

on this colorful blanket

for the last few weeks

Before work, after work

While at the salon getting

my hair done

On my lunch break at work

and......

its finally done

and 

I 

LOVE

how it turned out

Its a birthday present

 for my granddaughter

and I'm thinking she

will love it too

(she already accidentally saw it in the back of my car and said "Nana thats a pretty blanket")

With the yarn I have left

I started this

It going a lot faster 

than having to 

count the stitches on each row

and make sure that

the pattern I chose

works with the stitch count

I cant wait to give it to her

but I will be sad to see it go

Its one of my favorite projects ever
