Adding a Crochet Border to Knitting

- This video demonstrates how to add a crochet border to your knitting. Crochet borders look lovely when added to knitted fabrics, and help to neaten your edges without adding too much extra length or width to your project. I've demonstrated how to work a crochet border around a square to show how to ease your stitches around a corner.

I haven’t crocheted since I was a little girl and my grandmother sat with me and showed me. Your tutorial was very easy to follow and was perfect to get me started. Thank you 🙏
This has made my life so much easier! I’ve never been able to get my brain round crochet, but you went slow enough, and I could see everything perfectly! Very proud of my first blanket border ❤️ can’t wait to watch more of your videos and learn more 🥰
The tip about the crochet hook size just saved me a lot of time. I went down a size before bit problem of puckering continued so goin up a size solved that problem. Thank you very much.
My very first crochet border on a knit baby blanket! Thank you for making it so easy!
That was super easy. Thank you. My scarf edges are curling with this pattern and this is perfect to keep them straight
This video has been the only one that has helped me start crocheting. The way you teach is brilliant. I have done my first knitted and crochet baby blanket! ❤
Thank you so much, that's such lovely feedback! Congratulations on your first dual craft blanket!! ♥️
Thanks. I really appreciate this demo.❤❤❤❤💯🌹👌👌👌👌
Thanks for being so detailed in your explanation.
Thank you for doing such a good job of teaching us.
Your tutorial was exactly what i was looking for. Excellent job. Cheers 🤗
Thank you! I learned a lot from your video I didn’t know and got some new ideas to help me. ♥️😊🕊
Thank you so much!!! I had to learn to crochet to border a knit blanket and this video was amazing!!
This is a very good tutorial but I can’t get my mind around crocheting generally so I just ended up getting my mum to do it
Thank you all the same for a very helpful video, it’s not you, it’s me
Beautiful 😍
excellent pacing! great insight and tips. thank you.
thanks so much. how do you weave in the tail so it's secure and looks good on both sides?
This is fantastic thanks for sharing.
Would you mind to do a video showing how to get the edges the way you described? As a beginner, it is difficult to understand how to get those nice ends like yours. Thank you!! Your teaching style is terrific!!
Thank you, would you use the same for double crochet
Could this work doing the opposite. Can I add a knit border to crochet? 🌹❤️
i actually wonder the same! i’ve knitted ribbing on crochet sweaters, but i wouldn’t know how to go about a straight border for a blanket. it’s seems difficult, idk if it’s possible lol
Hi, if I were to do a larger border, such as increasing the stitch count to 4 or 5, would I go do that many treble stitches on each corner? Or is it universally 3 treble stitches on each corner no matter what?
I watch alot of crochet channels crocheting blankets and it seems the norm to crochet 3 stitches in the corner,whether it's SC DC etc
Once you have done this how do you attach them all together to make a blanket
I am visually impaired and like many others, I have trouble seeing when there is little contrast between colors, this demo uses white yarn against a white background and thus I can’t see the demonstration well. Suggest a red or dark blue yarn. Thanks.
Hi Judy, thank you so much for your feedback. It was definitely a fault on my part to use low contrast colours when I filmed this video, and it's something I've been conscious to avoid since. I'm so sorry for the difficulty it causes to see what's being demonstrated. If I have the opportunity to refilm this tutorial, I'll absolutely make sure I have darker yarn available for the crochet. Thank you, and my sincerest apologies again ♥️
Great video!! Question: how do you add yarn if you run out in the middle of crotchet border? Thanks!
I'd just attach more yarn to the end of your original yarn using a Russian Join or some sort of knot
I loom knit and I started crocheting my borders, I have a question should my work have the front facing me or the back wrong side facing me when I start the first row of border?
Do you start at the stitch before the corner
Thank you
When do you chain 3
I have crochet big blanket so I need to learn more about please can you help me please 🙏 Thank you Thank you Thank you please guide me 🙏🙏
I never start in a corner. My finding has been that it makes a neater border if I start in the middle of the bottom.
How many stitches did you cast on for square and how many rows did you do
I'm so sorry that I can't remember anymore, this was just a sample square that I knit a few years ago. Trying to count from the thumbnail, I think it might have been 30 stitches over 54 rows?
HI LOVELY!! Would this work the same for stockinette stitch, I mean following your instruct for the side chain effect? If not can you iterate how to get same effect? I have a large st st wall hanging and the sides are curling. Its already done so I cannot change that but would like to know for the future. Will this formula keep a large piece from curling?
Hi! Did you ever try? Did it work?
As a novice crocheter, I would have appreciated a better explanation as to why and when you a crochet chain is made vs crochet into each knitted stitch. Too much talking with not enough visual to show what you're describing.😢
Horrible wavy effect on recording. Couldn’t watch
Ok karen
It’s called a yarn over. Not a wrap around.
Thank you for your feedback. This is just intended as a very easy video for knitters to understand, and as a support for a small description in one of my patterns. As a "yarn over" in knitting is worked in the opposite direction to one in crochet, I've used "wrap around" to avoid that confusion, and to avoid going into a more in-depth lesson of crochet.
