Just finished this blanket, couldn’t do the camel stitch for the border so just did rows of half double crochet and it has turned out lovely, thank you Robin. So far I’ve made a small and big bumble bee and now this blanket all with your help 😁

[@heathercoursey8067]

Thank you! The blue was easier to see than the white and at some point the lighting got better, so I thought it was just fine.

You are welcome Heather!😃

I haven't mastered the blanket pattern yet, but I did master the border on a different blanket that I just finished and it looks AMAZING!

Hi Robin, I used this border on a blanket I made for my sister. It looks lovely, thank you for the tutorial.

[@sylviamaxwell504]

Ok you answered my question, would SC in corners keep from growing them too tall.

[@janehughes6271]

Just finished my baby boy blue blanket this afternoon. I didn`t think i would finish the blaket due to my anxiety issues that i have. Thank you very much for the tutorial. I am away to look for another project to start xx

Thank you, I very much enjoyed your video very easy to follow. I'm hearing impaired so sometimes I have a hard time hearing on the videos because they're sound is not loud, yours was wonderful thank you again for that.. I also want to say I love your accent and I very much enjoyed your video on the borders and I'm going to see if I can find the little boy blue blanket so I can make it to an add that border to it. I crochet for the hospital in my hometown I have a Ministry from my church (Deliveries 4 Heaven) and we have for three other ladies that crochet baby blankets with me and we deliver them once a month to the hospital thank you again and God bless you.

[@treetree8009]

Excellent tutorial!! I used this boarder on a solid granny square blanket. I joined the squares using the single crochet method and this boarder made the blanket really come together. Each square is nicely framed. I’m excited to start the Little Boy Blue blanket and I’m so happy I found your channel. Subscribing now!!!! Thank you.

[@HookedbyRobin]

What a lovely comment thank you so much! (Thank you for subscribing too 🥰 )

[@gloriaacosta5406]

In doing the camel border have you tried starting in the corner so that you don't have the single crochet in the actual border? Beautifully explained instructions and I love the camel border I'll try using in next blanket. Thank you.

[@rosesmile1362]

Thanks a lot for the great tutorial as always.. 💕💕💕 I've known this stitch since a long time but never thought of using it as a border instead of a simple single crochet border. This looks much prettier 😍 😍 PS. OMG the stitch markers 😱😱 They are so so cute 😱 I am so inspired to make those for myself now 😱😱

[@HookedbyRobin]

The stitch markers are cute aren't they! I get mine from www.traceymustard.com/

[@melaniebarnes9020]

Gorgeous blanket and border! Excellent tutorial! Could you please add a link for your crochet hook? I love how you get consistent size stitches on the shaft because the wooden handle acts like a “stopper” so stitches don’t move into the grip. Thank you!

[@jessicawarren3632]

I am making the little boy blue blanket and love it. Your tutorials have clear instructions and this makes it very easy for a beginner like me to follow. I don't really want to block the blanket and was wondering if I just used single crochets in the corners instead of the half doubles if it would still look square? Or... would they be too small and pull the corners down? I like the three rows of camel stitch so that is what I was going to do. Thanks.

[@lauriekerestes7840]

great tutorial! what is blocking?

[@ladyd54]

Thank you Robin for showing this stitch border and I had a good belly laugh at the beginning of the video over “get your little boy body” comment. How about starting the border in a corner, so you have complete camel stitch on all 4 sides, for I think this would solve the issue of starting the stitch on the side.

[@HookedbyRobin]

That's a good idea!! I'll try that next time! x

Could this border be used on the rectangle granny for a crib blanket?

[@vickijackson5547]

I love those stitch markers! They look like earrings and open nice and wide. Sometimes the plastic ones are really annoying because I have to put the work down to stretch them open around a stitch. Did you make them?

[@HookedbyRobin]

Hi Vicki, they are cute but I didn’t make them. I’m afraid where I used to buy stitch markers for them no longer sells them but Etsy do great ones!😃🧶

[@alib1255]

I love this border! Would it work for a baby waffle blanket?

[@HeikeWie]

Thanks for the video. Is that a Clover hook?

[@terristout5393]

Hi! Thank you for the nice video with tips for ending. I do have a question. I just finished a "For the Love.of Texture" afghan and have SC all around with 3 Sc in each corner. On your 1st round, would it be OK for the borders to only be a crochet 1 HDC chain 2, 1 HDC rather than 2 HDC, chain 2, 2 HDC? I've seen variations of the camel stitch border and just want to see what you think about that. Also, you place a chain 1 and HDC under both loops in the stitch before working into your 1st chain 3 space. Just curious, should that be through the 3rd loop? Thank you for your advice! I always have difficulty with the corners/borders!!

[@francaperotti5934]

I was uming and aring about doing something similar with white and verigated yarn only the white yarn I have is verigated with light colours of pink blue yellow and needed advice on whether it would go?

[@HookedbyRobin]

I don't see why it wouldn't work? :D Give it a whirl and see I say!

You could use a lobster clasp and some pretty beads Grace x

[@cindywood2089]

For the first stitch of the camel stitch round, it looks like you put a half double crochet in the top v instead of the third loop. Is that correct? Iif so. I was just wondering why it wouldn't be put in the third loop like the rest of the round?

[@ninacrochet9648]

You’re so sweet 🥰

[@purplekat10000]

What is blocking for the corners?

[@amyliz5003]

When i block something can i use a hairdryer to dry it or do i have to let it dry naturally? Xx

[@HookedbyRobin]

I don't see why not! Just be careful not to hold the hairdryer too close to your work or for too long in one spot :-)

[@giseletannous6873]

I love this border.. thank u for sharing ❤️.. i do have a question though, about that final row.. if i didn’t want that extra row of sc to show, but still wish to have the camel stitch effect at the top, wld it still work if i slip stitch into that third loop instead?

[@HookedbyRobin]

Yep that should definitely work 👍

[@giseletannous6873]

Thank u ❤️

[@ceciliaschleicher278]

I have never blocked anything before. After washing an item, will blocking make a difference in the end?

[@HookedbyRobin]

You don't HAVE to block your items, it simply pulls them into shape if needs be - I tend to pin out my blankets to dry after washing so that blocks them without me having to really think about it :-)

Can I ask what you mean by blocking please

[@suzieqtify]

Hi Robin, I am just about to start making the little boy blue blanket and was looking at this border to see if I would be able to do it. I ordered the wool from Snugglebean Yarn but they didn’t have the border wool so I ordered the Cygnet DK in white but watching this video you say at the beginning that the border wool is thicker so I’m now concerned the DK I’ve bought will not be thick enough for the border ?? Also when you get to the 3rd row of the border it looks on the video that you only go into one of the V’s not through both, am I correct ?? Thankyou.

[@HookedbyRobin]

It should be fine :) if it is noticeably thinner you can always use a slightly larger hook for the border x

[@melissal4724]

I’m brand new and just making a blanket for my aunts baby boy. I do feel like it needs a border though and so I’m gonna try thing border, you use the word “blocking” a couple times, can you explain to me what that is. Sorry for the ignorance.

[@HookedbyRobin]

No need to apologise! Blocking is when you pin out your project into the shape you want, get it damp and let it dry - there are several ways to do this, either wash your project then pin it out, OR I like to pin it out then mist it with water. You can also use the steam from your iron but don't let the iron touch your yarn otherwise it will melt 👍

[@mandahughes4567]

I have just watched this tutorial as I'm doing the chenille blanket, and this is the border used for that, but I don't know what 'blocking' is when your talking about the corners becoming more pronounced 🤷‍♀️

I guess I am not understanding how to stitch the single crochet border on the sides of the griddle stitch since one side is single crochet and the other is double.

It is when you get an item wet (or just damp) and you pin it into place to dry to shape it :-)
