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!!
Robin
Wonderful pompoms!Thank you)))

This is a very nice easy and beautiful finish. TFS :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your Pom Pom Edging! It was just what I needed to finish off my hexagon throw, "Sparkle". And it is beautiful in RED! Thanks so much for sharing. I'm so glad I found your blog. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, I have been looking for exactly this edging for ages!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Thank you for sharing this. Can't wait to come up with a project to use it on.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing! It's great pattern!
ReplyDeleteI don't get the part when you say "go thru the stitch
ReplyDeleteleaving 1 part of the stitch in the back and 2 parts in the front." Can you elaborate?
When you do a chain crochet stitch there are 3 parts that make the chain. Two loops in the front and one in the back. If you look at picture 7 you will see the two loops on the front (that the hook is going thru) and there is one behind the hook. If you dont go thru this space the stitch will not hold. If you look at the picture here http://www.countryfarm-lifestyles.com/how-to-crochet.html in figure 1 you can see the 3 loops tha tmake up a chain. I dont think it much matters which two you pick up because sometimes I cant tell which is which just as long as you are anchoring your stitch there. Hope this helps.
DeleteOh I see! Like when they say to go into the 'back bump' of the stitch, right? Thank you for your reply, that does help!
DeleteI love it!!! Your work is just BEAUTIFUL!!! I too, would like to like to know more about this, just like Summerset above ask...I don't get the part when you say "go thru the stitch
ReplyDeleteleaving 1 part of the stitch in the back and 2 parts in the front." Can you elaborate?
Celia see my reply above. I hope this helps you.
DeleteThat is a very cute stitch!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very pretty edging. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAwesome ♡ ♥ ♡

ReplyDeleteI love, love, love it! Actually I love everything I see. Thank You
ReplyDeleteThis is too cute! I'm busy making a blanket, so can't wait to try this edge!!!
ReplyDeleteTFS, Marlies ;o)
My English is usually not too bad but now I really have to learn all the neccesary "crochet vocabulary" for beeing able to do THIS!

What do you mean by "holding back the last stitch of each double crochet on the hook"?
ReplyDeleteI've just finished a scarf using your pom pom edge. Thanks! http://prettyflowersinthewindow.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/a-finishmy-crochet-scarf.html

ReplyDeleteCould you please tell us how you worked your corners also thx this is a great looking edge
ReplyDeleteSorry I don't remember and this blanket is gone. I would play around with it until you get something you like.
DeleteI just made a poncho with this border and in the corner chain 3 I did sc, chain, pom pom, chain, sc all in the chain space then start your next chain to make the pom pom that also connects to the next space…..make sense?

ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if it would be OK with you if I translate your tutorial on how to make this beautiful and fun Pom Pom Edge into Swedish and put it on my blog (www.lillavirkevira.blogspot.se). I started my blog with the aim to spread the craft and crochet inspiration I have found in English on the WWW and translate and introduce them to those Swedish crafters/crocheters that are not that familiar with English crochet terms and expressions. I am not trying to poach your page views or in anyway steel traffic to your blog – so if you want I could make a Swedish translation for you to post on your blog.
And don't worry, if you decide to give me your permission to translate the tutorial and/or pattern - I would use my own pictures and most certainly will state that it is your design and idea as well as include a link back to your blog.
Looking forward to your reply!
Thank you Robin. I can't wait to surprise my granddaughter with this cute boarder on her requested crocheted blanket. She's gonna love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat border for my Beach projects! Thank you for sharing the pattern - great step by step.
ReplyDeleteMe encantan, tengo una manta para acabar, pero no sabia que borde ponerle. Ahora si.
ReplyDeleteGracias, Besitos
Thank you for sharing! THIS I Like...Something a little different and playful. I've been searching for a long time.
ReplyDeleteRobin, thank you so much for this lovely tutorial. I have now also created a pom pom border for my latest Manly Throw Cal.

ReplyDeleteThis is perfect for a wildly colored Moroccan Tile granny square afghan I just finished! Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is amazing! It’s exactly what I was looking for! I tried to make up my own doing a chain 6 then a double crochet cluster then chain 6 but it looked whimpy. Your spin on this is perfect! I’m going to try it on a top I made because it needs a little something magical. This is IT!
