Thanks Roz . Yes the heat has cooled off for about 2 days , but we will be back into the heat come midweek . I will stay indoors and work on some projects . Have a swell day .

[@PlayHookywithMe]

@@angelabirkett9671 sounds like a good plan 🙌🏻💕

[@cynthiahale9888]

I agree with Biscuit, they are all lovely. Choosing one for my next project will be hard!

[@diannalynnYT]

Gorgeous borders. I appreciate that you showing fudging it is ok! I think sometimes we put way too much pressure on ourselves for everything to be 100% perfect.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Yes, who’s going to know, right? As long as you can find a way to make it look nice , that’s all that matters. To me , anyway 💕

[@kat9446]

Hi Roz! As always, a great tutorial! The rolling scallop border, lacy border and 2-in-1 border are new to me. I am thrilled to learn these beautiful borders. It’s always nice to have a variety of borders to choose from. Thanks for sharing. Your time and contributions to our Crochet Community are greatly appreciated. Also, you make the most beautiful granny squares ever! Hugsss❤️

[@PlayHookywithMe]

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Oh thank you! 😀💕

[@angelabirkett9671]

Good morning Roz... Happy Sunday to you and the boys . I love 💘 them all , but the reverse shell stitch is a dooseyyyy. I could ho wild with this border when making squares . Have a blessed day and week ahead .

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Isn’t it a beauty - I’m so excited about that one. 🤩🤩🤩👏🏻 Have a great week, Angela, hope the weather has cooled off for you a bit 💕

[@pjsebby3194]

I’m working on another one of your sunburst square afghans for donation and I’m going to change up the border to one of these beauties you taught in this video. Your videos are always inspirational! Be well, be safe, stay kind!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Sounds great! 😀👏🏻💕💕💕

[@user-oq2bg9pj6n]

I love all of them. Looks like your cat does too. I am half way through the blanket I'm crocheting so will see which of these beauties will suit it best. Thanks Roz

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Wonderful! Hope one of these works well. Yes, Biscuit loves crochet just as much as I do 😅💕

[@cvholm5904]

Another really great tutorial from you! Thank you so much for the effort you put in to this. Love this channel and I have learned everything about crochet from you. This yarn is beautiful, especially the pink for the waves stitch.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

So happy to see you , hope you have been well 👏🏻💕 thank you !

Thank you so much for this tutorial . All the borders were fantastic and well explained . Now I am dying to try them as I make my lap rugs for a hospice . Love trying new things . Kudos to you for a well executed video .

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Excellent 😀👏🏻 I’m so glad

[@margaretdombkoski4780]

Truly appreciate this video:) Make many blankets for donation and always faced with the "what border can I use now" dilemma. Sharing this with my crochet group! Each border is wonderful and easy to do. Thank you from the bottom of my hook❤

[@PlayHookywithMe]

So glad! 😀👏🏻👏🏻😆💕

[@lindahoig2181]

Thank you for sharing this tutorial ❤️. I create blankets and am always perplexed as to a good border for them. This is so incredibly helpful.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Oh, good, I’m glad you found it useful 😀💕

[@itsmelaura1533]

Awesome borders! I have saved this video to my Crochet File so that I can find it easily when I need to choose a border! Thank you!!!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Wonderful 🥰

[@judalea17]

I mainly make granny cluster blankets (though I have many bookmarks of others) and dislike not having a border/edging. This is another great collection of easy edgings to add

[@PlayHookywithMe]

So glad 😀 💕

My God THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL

Thank you 💕

Thanks for your tutorial. My favorite is the cat ❤

Mine too 🤗❤️

[@jennierollins8789]

I love all of these borders. I also love how you suggest to work out of the box. If something doesn't work, play with it. I would like suggestions on joining the granny squares together after adding the borders. You do such gorgeous work. Have you always wanted to be a teacher? ☮️🌎🌲

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Hi Jennie - these are just added to granny squares to show how to work the borders . They aren’t intended for adding only to granny squares. Like I mentioned in the beginning of the video , it was just a way to save time. These borders are intended for the finishing touch to any project - shawls, clothing, blankets etc. 👍🏻💕 I love teaching , yes. But all kinds of things. My background is in illustration and I usually illustrated instructions. Then during covid , I was crocheting a lot and would use KZbin to help me learn how to crochet or knit. I wanted to contribute so that’s how the channel began. I was going to teach how to draw but I was so obsessed with crochet that it just sort of happened this way 😂😂😂❤️

[@jennierollins8789]

Well, you are very good at it. I would have thought you had crocheted your whole life. I really wanted to join the granny squares together because they look so beautiful. I think the illustration and design are very close. ♥️♥️♥️

[@PlayHookywithMe]

@@jennierollins8789 thank you so much , Jennie 💕💕💕

[@jennierollins8789]

Of course. 🦩🌷🌈🍃

So glad , thank you ❤️

[@debbiemcclure2874]

I believe that gorgeous kitty is my favorite😅😅.. they're all really pretty but I love the scalloped border the best. Its quite beautiful. Tyfs God bless you

[@PlayHookywithMe]

😆 Biscuit is obsessed . Thanks for watching 💕😗

[@wig4usc]

This was great, thank you!! I tend to be anal about sticking to the pattern and get myself all worked up when I have to improvise. I’m self taught so it’s so helpful for me to see the off-page kind of tips!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I’m glad you found that helpful 👏🏻💕

[@misscrafty5904]

Hi Roz 😊 hope you are well.. thank you so much for another great tutorial.. I love them all.. love and blessings to you xxxx ❤️🥰🙏

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Hi Miss Crafty! Good to see you, hope you’ve been well 💕 Thanks for watching and enjoy your week 😀💕

[@jgraef919]

The 2 in 1 is definitely one of the nicest, smooth-finish, straight forward borders I have ever seen. I love it!!! It is such a practical border that will be ideal for me. I haven't even tried it yet, but I'm hooked. Great, great video, Roz!! 💗 ~Joan~

[@PlayHookywithMe]

So glad you liked that one , it works up quickly which is also a great bonus! Have a great week, Joan 😀💕💕💕

Beautiful borders, I just can’t fudge it if i can easily see the mistake though I need to use something that will work for the stitch count I have.

Beautiful borders! I'm always wondering how they're done when I see someone else's work.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Thank you! 💕

[@lindamercer1736]

Hi Roz - this is so REALLY helpful thank you. I am nearing the end of the Daisy Granny Square Blanket and was wondering about a border. There are 3 that you showed that I like very much. The Shell Scallop Border, Lacey Border and the Pico Stitch. Thanks for a very interesting and informative video. By the way, quick question, would you use the same size hook for the border as you do for the blanket? Cheers Linda x

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Great ! I would start with the same size hook and see how it looks. If you feel it’s looking too tight then go up a hook size. If it’s looking too wavy , then go down a hook size. But the one you’re using already should be fine 👍🏻💕

[@sheliaheverin8822]

Are you counting the chain 3 as a double crochet in the rolling scallop? They are all beautiful finishes.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Yes, I thought I mentioned that but I’m sorry if I didn’t. 👍🏻💕

[@loveyrogers3181]

[@PlayHookywithMe]

These are borders , Lovey, but I do have a video planned for some Freeform projects, yes! 💕
