New “Baby Pompon” Border
Blankets and Afghans . Patterns - Blankets and AfghansIt’s always so much fun to try a new and cute crochet idea! So this week I designed the “Baby Pompon” Border for my “Soft and Cuddly” Baby Afghan. It is a second border option for the afghan and I think you will really like it! Now, I have added it to the free version of the afghan pattern available here on the blog, and I have also added it to the ad-free .pdf that is available in both my Etsy and Ravelry Shops. But, don’t worry, if you have already purchased that pattern, I am including the instructions for the new border here in this post!!! So, here it is!!
This border uses the “Puff Stitch”.
Directions for “Puff Stitch”.
Yarn over and insert the hook into the single crochet, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops. (You now have 2 loops on the hook.). Yarn over and insert hook into the same single crochet, yarn over
and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops. (You now have 3 loops on the hook.). Yarn over and insert hook into the same single crochet, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops. (You now have 4 loops on the hook.). Yarn over and insert hook into the same single crochet, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops. ( You now have 5 loops on the hook.). Yarn over and insert hook into the same single crochet, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops. (You now have 6 loops on the hook.). Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops on the hook. You will now have 1 loop on the hook. Slip stitch in the same single crochet.
