It is usually not difficult to choose a pattern for knitting a blanket. On this site, and on the Internet as a whole, there are hundreds of schemes and descriptions for every taste and color. More acute is the question of choosing a pattern for crocheting a blanket. The fact is that the pattern of the plaid and the trim options you like often do not fit together, so the choice of the pattern becomes a headache for the needlewoman.
In this material, we will try to make it easier for you to choose a border pattern for crocheting a blanket. We will sort the possible tying options by category and write which tying is suitable for which blanket.

Binding for a blanket from grandmother's squares
To tie a blanket from grandmother's squares, you need to choose a simple border consisting of several rows. Complex patterns are rarely suitable here, since the pattern itself is extremely simple. Below are several options for such strapping.
In this variant, the green row is the last row of the grandmother's square. The harness starts with the red row (middle) and consists of only two rows.
A simple option for tying a blanket from grandmother's squares
An equally simple strapping option. Please note that the finished blanket from grandmother's squares must first be tied with single crochet posts. The diagram shows three such rows. You can knit them either more or less.

"Pineapple" binding for a plaid
It is used not only as an independent pattern, but also as a border. This option is suitable for knitted blankets light pattern... It should be borne in mind that the pineapple border is quite voluminous - at least 10 centimeters in height (depending on the yarn). This must be taken into account when hoping to knit a blanket of strictly defined sizes. An example is in the photo below.

Strapping for an openwork plaid
To tie an openwork blanket, you need to choose a light pattern. By the way, as a binding, you can take the same Pineapple pattern, which was discussed above. Consider other options as well.
The lower elements of this scheme outwardly vaguely resemble pineapples. An element resembling an expanding fan passes between them.
Scheme for tying an openwork plaid with an extension
The strapping scheme with roundings, inside each semicircle there are flowers. This tying option for openwork blankets is close to universal. However, you need to pay attention to the pattern repeat, since not every blanket will eventually contain a suitable number of loops.
Another simple strapping (in Spanish conventions). Triangles on the diagram- picot.
Tying for a blanket with cones
A border in the form of knobs is not a universal option for decorating a blanket. But it is worth considering, since the rugs are tied dense patterns are quite common. It is for them that such a strapping is suitable.
Below is one of the simplest and beautiful options... Please note that in the sample in the photo, fewer rows are knitted with single crochets. The number of such rows is determined independently, according to your taste.
Strapping for a blanket "Bumps" simple
The bumps can go not perpendicular (vertically), but parallel (horizontally) to the side of the blanket. A video tutorial on tying a blanket for the second of these options is below.
Tying for a plaid with flowers
The flower tie is suitable for blankets with a less interesting basic pattern. On the background openwork patterns the strapping in the form of flowers seems overkill. There are also several options for making flowers.
The simplest option is flowers, almost entirely consisting of air loops. Such a border is suitable for blankets with both dense and openwork patterns.
Simple crochet flower border
Wider border option. Here the flowers are "hidden" under each semicircle - an incredibly interesting pattern.
Wide border with flowers - scheme
This video tutorial presents the most popular option for a border in the form of flowers. The knitting process is a little specific, because there are no rows above the flowers, however, they knit incessantly. That is why it is better to watch the master class.
Harness for a baby blanket
Children's blankets, as a rule, do not differ in the complexity of knitting. Their main feature- a simple pattern combined with pastel yarn. Therefore, the strapping should be as simple as possible, but at the same time it should not form corners and rough elements. You can take schemes for tying blankets from grandmother's squares (see above).
Below are the two most simple options straps that are suitable for more or less dense patterns.

Border with arches for tying a baby blanket
This border is more suitable for an openwork blanket, although the diagram shows a grandmother's square.
Binding for a baby blanket with "tracks"
Not all strapping schemes are presented above, but this is a decent selection. It presents more or less classic options for harnesses and borders for blankets. Remember, you can experiment. Perhaps modifying any of these circuits will give amazing results.
Crocheting is such an extensive art that even tying the edges of a wide variety of products allows you to choose from many possible options. Moreover, a detail such as crochet a border can give a simple thing, like the most ordinary dress or blouse, an elegant sophisticated look, or, conversely, turn into an absurd-looking product that you don't want to wear, even if it turns out to be the only one in your wardrobe. Therefore, it is so important to learn how to combine crochet styles and successfully apply them in the details that play a role in the formation of the style - the crocheted edges of the product.
Tablecloths, handkerchiefs, napkins, towels, curtains, sleeves and the neck of any part of the wardrobe will look completely new if you choose the right pattern for crocheting the edge. By the way, this technique is also used if there is a need to “hide” the mistakes of the craftswoman, which can be easily seen at the edges of the products with the naked eye. And the trimming of the edge with various knitted patterns can give a second life to any old thing that you don't want to part with at all.
Crocheting the edge of the product - diagrams and description
Choosing the right pattern on the border is already half the success. This issue has its own subtleties, which are important to consider when choosing a pattern for the edge of the product:
- Narrow border (up to 1.5 cm) - suitable for light knitted items with openwork motifs, and also ideal for children's clothing;
- Border that passes into the collar (5-8 cm or 15-20 cm) - goes well with most knitted items.
- Wide trim pattern (1.5 - 4.5 cm) - looks good on products made of medium-thick yarn, namely, on the edges of the sleeves and necklines of jumpers and pullovers.
A beautiful pattern along the edge can be knitted directly when creating a whole thing - then you do not have to suffer by attaching an openwork ribbon to the product, but you can sew on a finished border by tying it in advance. The choice here is quite simple.

But the options for the patterns for binding the edges provide much more space. So, what are the possible options for finishing and decorating the edge of a crocheted product do needlewomen have?
- Rach step
The most favorite crocheting option among beginner knitters is a crustacean step, consisting of single crochet stitches that are knitted from left to right: starting to the right of the working loop. This pattern allows you to maintain the original shape of the canvas, preventing the edge from stretching. This method of trimming the edges also has its own varieties.
Rach step from left to right
The hook is inserted into the first loop on the right and a single crochet is knitted. Insert the hook into the next loop on the right and knit a single crochet again. And so on until the end of the row.
Rach step from right to left
This option for tying the edges is considered more difficult, but also more familiar. With the work loop on the hook, insert the hook into the loop on the left and grab the work thread. Pull out the thread and, with both loops on the hook, turn the nose of the hook counterclockwise (see diagram above). After twisting the loops on the hook, make a yarn over and pull it through both loops on the hook. With one working loop on the hook, insert the hook into the loop to the left (moving away from you) and grab the working thread. Pull out the loop. Twisting the loops on the hook again, make a yarn over and pull it through both loops on the hook. Continue in the same way. The resulting glad should look something like this.
- Pico
Patterns of crochet options for pico. The pico harness consists of closed in a circle chains of several air loops - from three or more. These loops are ideal for tying cuffs and sleeves.
A number of pico is performed on front side products. Do 1 stitch, skip the first single crochet, work 1 single crochet into the next single crochet. Work a chain of 4 stitches, then single crochet into the first stitch of this chain to create a picot. Work 1 single crochet into each of the next 2 single crochets. Continue knitting pico and 2 single crochets around the hem in the same way. There are also several other options for knitting pico (see diagram above).
- Arch rail or Shell
The pattern is obtained by knitting stitches of different heights with the highest stitch in the center. The shell can be performed in a row, stitched single crochet, half crochet and double crochet. The strapping is performed on the front side of the product. Stitch 1, work 1 single crochet into next stitch. Skip 1 loop, do 1 double crochet, 3 double crochets and 1 half crochet, all into the next loop. Skip 1 loop and work 1 single crochet into the next loop to secure the edge of the shell. Continue tying the shells around the edge of the garment in the same way.
- Border from decorative openwork patterns
Here, the form and all kinds of patterns are not limited by anything except the imagination and capabilities of the knitter. There are so many options for crocheting openwork border, from the simpler to the incredibly complex. Often they are crocheted separately from the entire product and then sewn on to the desired edges. Let's consider several schemes and how to apply them to different things.
Neck strapping
Very often, needlewomen are looking for ways to crochet the neck of a sweater or sweater so as to hide the open sections of the product, and at the same time the thing has acquired a more interesting and special look. There are many ways to do this, you just have to choose the most suitable strapping from dozens of schemes. Let's look at a few examples of how to crochet the neck beautifully to improve the look of the knit and not ignore the principle of completeness.
- Quick neck strapping
This step-by-step design option is suitable for beginners and those needlewomen who do not have time to perform more complex neck processing. It turns out beautifully and simply.
The knitted product can be decorated with a neck made in a circle, or connect the ends of the neck with a seam.
We take the finished fabric and crochet from the seamy side from the working thread to pull the loop to the front side.
Thus, we collect several loops on the hook. Important: the loops should not be loose.
Then these loops are thrown onto the knitting needle, after which we continue to collect loops with the help of a hook. Pull the loop with a crochet, transfer it to the knitting needle, etc.
The loops are dialed. Now we knit the first row in such a way that there are front loops from the inside out, and purl loops in the front row. If we knit the neck in a circle, we knit purl loops. If with a seam - facial.
If you want to achieve the "factory effect" of connecting the collar with the product, we knit the first row with knitting needles like this: seamy side products, the first row is knitted with front loops (on the front side, the loops will be purl), and then the first row on the front side looks as if the collar is riveted with a needle.
According to the first option for knitting the first row, the following result is obtained:
Then we knit the neck of the desired length. If this is a loop lapel, we close it with knitting needles or crochet, if desired. If this is a stand-up collar, it is better to close the loops with a needle.
- Beautiful processing of the neck
This is also a simple crochet option for a beautiful edge, in which the most difficult and important thing is to correctly calculate the pattern rapport.
The rapport height is the width of the plank. The width of the rapport is the number of loops by which the number of loops of the entire length of the neck is divided without a remainder. For example: plank height 16 rows. 16/2 = 8. The rapport cannot be less than 8 loops. On 8 loops, we will have an openwork decoring.
In this case, the neck is 180 stitches. The selection method was used to determine the rapport of 12 loops 180: 12 = 15. 15 repetitions of rapport.
It is better to have 2 additional loops for sewing the bar. In my case, this is not, but the difference in the pattern of the neckline on the shoulder line is not noticeable.
You need to knit according to the following scheme, in which only odd rows are indicated:
- Flower pattern
The pattern for the strapping is made up of a bush from a chain of three air loops and two double crochets. It is knitted from one point - the base of the chain. The bushes are fixed with a half-column at some distance from each other (for example, in two loops of the securing neck row). At the beginning of the row, make one air loop for lifting. Follow the scheme.
Beautiful sleeve processing
Often, crocheting the sleeves is done in the same pattern as the neck processing - in this way, the thing is designed in the same style, which means it looks harmonious. Let's try to knit a few simple patterns.
- Sleeve festoons
First, cast on a chain of 5 chain stitches.
Insert the hook under the dialed chain, grab the working thread and pull the loop.
Grab the working thread again and knit the extended loop. This is how the first single crochet was obtained, tied from under the chain, and 2 loops remained on the hook.
Knit an extended loop, another loop will be added to the hook.
When there are 11 stitches on the hook, grab the working thread and knit all the stitches from the hook.
Now secure the scallop by knitting a single crochet, stepping back 3 loops from the beginning of the scallop. Knit scallops to the end of the row following the step by step photo.
It is necessary to work according to the following scheme:
- Large lace trim
At the beginning of the row, tie an air loop. Insert the crochet hook under the nearest braid to be tied. Knit a single crochet. Knit an air loop again.
Insert the hook into the front loop of the upper braid of the single crochet previously knitted and then insert the hook into the left side loop of the same single crochet. Insert the crochet hook under the nearest braid to be tied. Pull out the loop. Pick up the thread and knit a single crochet. You need to repeat from 4 to 8 points. As a result, we get such a strapping of the edge, which, due to its elasticity, will not tighten the bottom of the product.
Bottom of the product
You can crochet the bottom of the product with the most different ways, but we will consider one of the easiest options, and more complex and beautiful way strapping, suitable not only for knitted items, but also for towels, tablecloths and other material products.
- Strapping the bottom of the Pico thing
Along the edge of the garment, start knitting with two single crochets.
Next, complete 3 stitches and guide the hook into the base of the single crochet as shown in the photo. Then do two single crochets again, followed by 3 stitches.
- Flower border
A row with a floral motif is knitted as follows: 3 vp. lifting, 3 CCHs in the first arch from vp, 1 CCHs in the next arch. We begin to knit a flower: 3 VP, 3 unfinished CCHs on one loop of the base, knit all loops on the hook = 1st petal. 4 VP, remove the hook from knitting, insert it into the upper part of the connected group of columns from right to left, grab the last loop of the chain and drag it through all the loops = ring.
Next petal: * 3 vp, 2 CCHs in a ring, 3 vp, RLS in a ring * (= 2nd petal), repeat from * to * 2 more times. Last petal: 3 vp, 3 unfinished CCHs, knit all loops on the hook (= 5th petal). The flower is ready.
3 CCHs through one arch of the previous row, 1 CCH into the next arch, and we begin to knit the next flower.

Decorate the edges knitted products Crocheting is not an easy task, because first you need to pick up a beautiful pattern, then tie it correctly and without unnecessary broaches, and then sew it so that it looks perfect, and most importantly - in its place. It may be difficult for novice craftswomen to cope with this task at first, but do not despair. You can always "spy" the secrets of this craft from more experienced craftswomen.
Crocheting the edge of the product video:
From time immemorial, the border has been considered the element of knitting that gives any product true tenderness and sophistication. It can be used to decorate any crocheted items - from clothing items to kitchen accessories (napkins, tablecloths, towels, curtains and much more). Moreover, not only finished knitted products are tied with a decorative border. Openwork lace, knitted along the free edge of the fabric, is able to breathe new life into an old, long-forgotten thing from a woman's or children's wardrobe.
There are a lot of ways to knit a border. They knit it up and down, in one layer and with layering, using sirloin, openwork, tape techniques, as well as in the form of a border or fringe. Each option for knitting a border has its own subtleties, therefore, if the craftswoman has just begun to master the basics of crocheting, we recommend choosing the simplest tying patterns, subsequently gradually complicating the knitting tasks. 
Today we will talk about how to crochet a border. We offer to needlewomen large collection schemes and step by step instructions crocheting the edges of knitted products - from simple "pico" to super-complex knitted "butterflies".

The simplest pico-based beginner border
With the help of such a border, you can tie whatever you want: knitted napkins or ordinary fabric handkerchiefs. The strapping is absolutely simple to perform, consists of four rows, so even a newly-made knitter can master it. 
Knitting progress:
We tie the canvas in a circular method with a number of b / n columns. SS.
In the next. a row we knit 6 VP (1 runway + 5 VP), 1 tbsp. b / n in the 5th st. b / n PR, then we knit with rapports to the end of the row: “5 VP, 1 tbsp. b / n in the 5th st. w / n PR ". SS.
We knit the third row in the same way, only the b / n column should fall on the central loop of the arch from 5 VP PR.
We tie the fourth row to the trail. repeating knitted combination: “1 tbsp. b / n in central. pet. arches from VP PR + 3 VP + 2 tbsp. s / n to the center. pet. track. arches of 5 VP PR, above and between them - along pico (3 VP + 1 SS in the first VP), between pico - 3 VP each, we complete the rapport with three VP and Art. b / n to the center. pet. track. arches from 5 VP PR ". SS. The border is ready!
Narrow openwork border
The most beautiful air border can decorate women's blouses and children's tops; in its frame, both a wide variety of clothing items and all kinds of knitted accessories look equally good.
Work steps:
The border is knitted in a transverse way, with openwork motifs.
We collect the chain. of 11 VPs (7 VPs + 3 VPs + 1 VPs).
Row number 1: 1 st. s / n in the 7th VP chain. from the hook, 2 VP, 2 tbsp. s / n in the 4th VP of the base from the hook, between the posts - flail. from 3 VP.
Row number 2: 5 runways, 3 st. s / n to the center. pet. arches from 3 VP PR, 1 VP, 3 tbsp. s / n in the same pet. arches, 2 VP, 1 st. s / n in the next. Art. s / n PR, 1 VP., 1 st. s / n in the 3rd runway PR.
Next, we continue to work according to the knitting pattern until the border of the desired length is reached. Semicircular motifs during knitting are tied with st. b / n with pico.
Treat the finished border with a starch solution and iron to give the perfect shape.
Border "hearts" in fillet knitting technique
The fillet technique is one of the most popular types of crochet tying. The fillet border is used to decorate towels, napkins and tablecloths, in addition, it can be used to decorate kitchen curtains and other elements of the home interior in an original way.
The scalloped "heart" border can be a bright accent to many knitted and fabric items, take, for example, kitchen curtains, in which you want to add a little variety.
Fillet pattern:
The process of knitting a fillet border is incredibly simple and similar to embroidery technology. It must be remembered that each cell of the pattern consists of three loops, an empty one is knitted “1 tbsp. s / n + 2 VP ", filled in -" 3 st. s / n ".
For the border "hearts" we collect flail. on 55 VP + 3 runways, and knit with empty and filled sirloin cells according to the above scheme.
Complex openwork border
The openwork border is the leader among the methods of crocheting the free edges of the product. Openwork tying schemes are in high demand among craftswomen, therefore there are plenty of options: scallops, "pineapples", shells, floral motifs, etc.
The openwork border is narrow and wide. The latter is ideal for framing towels and tablecloths. We invite needlewomen to pay attention to beautiful pattern wide openwork border, perfect for adding elegance to the tablecloth.

Exclusive border with butterflies
The amazing beauty of the border with butterflies as if fluttering on it captivates many needlewomen. By the way, her knitting is not extra heavy, so not only professional craftswomen, but also beginners in crochet needlework can practice knitting such an openwork border.
The knitted border is knitted with cross knitting. Openwork butterflies are knitted along the edge of the sirloin mesh. After the main part of the border is ready, you need to knit the strings from the VP, which subsequently tie the chains of air loops inside the butterflies, thereby forming a clearly defined body and antennae of the butterfly.
To knit such a border, it is best to use the finest cotton threads, then the work will look extremely delicate and airy.
Knitting pattern:

Video master classes on the topic "Crocheting a border"
For those who are more comfortable working with video tutorials, we provide detailed master classes for knitting all kinds of borders:
In order to give a finished item to a newly knitted item, you need to carefully tie its edge. At the same time, the knitted fabric will stop curling, since its edges will become stiff, the old thing will acquire a completely the new kind... This fairly simple work can be done different ways.
We bring to your attention video tutorials on how to properly tie the edges of knitted products in various ways. It's easy to master them, and soon you will be able to give your work the beautiful look that they acquire after strapping.
Very simple edge strapping, quite understandable for beginners. The first row is knitted with single crochets, a French mesh is formed in the second and third rows, and fans are arranged on the fourth row, consisting of eight double crochets. This row turns out to be the most beautiful. The result is a border with a pattern composed of semicircular elements, which are based on connected fans.
For any fabric, it is enough to knit the first initial row, and then you can form a pattern. It makes a good edging for the collars of the dressing gowns. It is simply sewn onto the base material.

The edge tied in this way becomes even and dense, resembling a pigtail. This method is used to tie the armholes and necks, the edges of the sides knitted clothes, created by knitting or crocheting. This seam strengthens the edges of pockets and scarves. The method got its name because it is not formed in the usual direction from right to left, but on the contrary, as if moving backwards.
You can use the same thread for tying with which the garment itself was knitted, but this thread can also be taken in a different color: the colored edging looks neat on any knitted garment, decorating its overall design with an unexpected frame.
Video lesson:
This beautiful finish consists of small pompoms, each of which is attached to the edge of the fabric with two posts. It turns out a zigzag pattern, where a neat pompom is located at the top of each zigzag. The pattern looks very beautiful and ceremonial. It can be used to decorate large items such as knitted blankets, shawls or pillows.
The use of "pompons" creates a design that complements and emphasizes knitted pattern that was used on the base thing. For all the seeming complexity of the pattern, it is created very simply and is quite accessible even for beginners.

This way of tying the edge of knitted items is extremely simple, but it looks impressive. A small bead is formed from four single crochets, dense and neat. A number of such beads, located close to one another, can decorate tightly knitted products, but they can also be suitable for patterned blankets or shawls.
The strapping is not necessarily done along a straight edge; you can also strap curved surfaces, and even wavy edges. The resulting volumetric edge binding looks very nice if it is made in a different color, contrasting with the color of the main knitting thread.
Video lesson:
If there is a desire not only to reinforce the edges of a knitted thing with a strap, but to decorate them with an interesting pattern, try this knitting option. Their interlacing is formed by simple columns, and a pattern with arches and openings repeating in two tiers is obtained.
With all the complexity of the pattern, getting it is quite simple - you just need not to get confused in the alternation of loops and in the location of the repeating columns. The pattern can be based on a completely arbitrary type of knitted loops, it can be edged with any knitted thing, regardless of whether it was crocheted or knitted. It will still turn out beautifully.
Video lesson:
Five stitches with one crochet, tied in the same loop, form a small neat shell, in which the loops make up the edge, and the stitches make fan-shaped waves, just like on a real shell. It is simple and interesting way how to crochet the edge of the product, giving the edge of any knitted thing an interesting look.
It is especially impressive if the shells are knitted from a thread of a different color than the main product, the resulting contrasting pattern perfectly frames any knitting. Even if the product is received by the most in a simple way knitting, its edging in this way gives it an interesting unusual look.
Video lesson:
There are several options for crocheting the edge for napkins or handkerchiefs. Napkins can be any, linen or silk, depending on the thickness of the fabric and the thickness of the thread used for the edging is chosen. It is quite possible to use bobbin thread number 20-30 to match the napkin or in a contrasting color.
The scarf is cut out of the fabric strictly in the direction of the threads. One centimeter from each edge is pulled out one thread, and for the resulting grooves we begin to make a strapping. A chain of loops is created along the edge of the napkin, which become the basis of the pattern created from the threads.
Video lesson:
Periodically turning the knitting over and using the instructions of the pattern for creating the pattern, we get a fairly thick cord along the edge of the knitted thing, resembling a caterpillar in its appearance. A method of knitting such a pattern is also proposed without turning over the entire work, with intercepting the hook, which is convenient if an overall shawl or bedspread is knitted, which is inconvenient to turn over.
It tells in detail how to get a "caterpillar" on indirect, rounded knitting edges, both on convex and concave. In this way, the sleeves, collars, the lower edge of the product and even the edges of the hats are tied. The result is a very decorative pattern.
Video lesson:
A small pattern is knitted from half-columns fixed on every third loop of the row, and two loops are skipped. The result is an edging of repeating small semicircles following one after the other. This border can be knitted in a circle, detailed instructions are also given for this.
A large border will not come in handy for every thing, but still I want to somehow improve appearance... In this case, a small border turns out to be ideal, which can be knitted from the same thread as the thing itself, or from yarn of a contrasting color. It is quite possible to decorate even a patterned knitted thing with such a border.
Video lesson:
We offer a master class on knitting a border. In every third loop of the knitted thing, a set of columns is made, which forms small neat semicircles. It turns out a simple, but very nice edging with a pattern of small semicircles.
This pattern can edging both solid and patterned, order the edges of plaids and shawls, sweaters and cardigans. He will add grace and airiness to any pattern of the main fabric, perfectly in harmony with any pattern of the basic knitting. The border has a wave width of three loops, is not too conspicuous and serves as a modest decoration.
