Easy Envelope Border - Quick Start Method

Quick-start method for making Crochet Envelope Borders.
A written pattern is available from www.ravelry.co...

[@mildredpierce4506]

I have been crocheting for nearly 60 years and I have never heard of an envelope border until maybe a few weeks ago. Learning this new border encourages me to do more blankets with a single color per row without dreading having to leave in all those ends.

[@carmenvanheerden2861]

Thank you so much for this tutorial.What a neat and effective way to crochet an envelope border! ❤

[@MrsGump]

Ooohhhhh that standing treble without a slipknot is brilliant!!

[@MrsGump]

This is just a note to remind my future self when looking for this that the standing treble starts at 4:05 😀👍🏻

[@milabulic]

Thank you 🎉🎉🎉 This is, by far, the easiest envelope border to make. Nice and neat.

[@RosinaCrochets]

[@lindaconn5781]

[@RosinaCrochets]

[@zainylainy1]

[@starryeyedtwo15]

Thank you so much for teaching us how to do this particular envelope border. it is so much easier that I love it!!!

[@susanjackson1907]

Beautiful tutorial!!!! Thank You! This certainly makes it much easier than weaving in all the beginning and ending yarn tails. I’m anxious to give this border technique a try!

[@annenieuwdorp8990]

Thanks for showing this easy to do double border. Finally one I think is worth all the effort. Love those double borders now

[@courag1]

Super looking finish. Thank you for your great tutorial.

[@genmama1955]

I’m encouraged to make an envelope border now. Thanks for this tutorial.

[@RosinaCrochets]

Before you use this method, have you seen my even-easier method, where you just need to insert a chain between your edge sts and the main pattern, and work the border into that? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qISsk4idjd6Eb6M xxx

[@bonnytraveler]

Looking forward to trying your double border technique. Thanks for the video.

[@laialy22b06]

Very nice good job thank you ❤

[@soniac.9162]

This is such a helpful video I just finished your meow blanket and just bought the pattern for the envelope birder so this tutorial is very helpful. Thank you

[@karentzn]

Must say this makes an incredible near edging

[@louisedimond9315]

Excellent video 💖 thank YOU! Xx

[@paulaknit]

Thanks, very doable.

[@direvigour]

Beautifully explained. Thank you for the tutorial. The only reason I feel uncomfortable with making mosaic blankets is all those millionssss of ends 😅. Now, I think I should give mosaic a try. Just a question, on the 2nd row of envolope border (uk half treble) first you said 5 htr but then you did 3 htr for the corner. Which one is more preferable? I m planning to make a queen size NYA infinity blanket. Thanks in advance xx

[@RosinaCrochets]

The number of sts you make in the corner stitch depends on the st you are using. If I was doing a round of trs, I would usually make 5 tr in the corner st, but if I was doing a round of dcs (which are half the height of trs) I would only do 3 dcs. Its a little trickier with htrs, as they are a little taller than dcs, but shorter than trs, so you will probably need to do 3 htrs on some rounds, and 5 htrs on others, to keep the corner nice and square xx

[@marialuisabecerra4867]

Muy bonito

[@justindowling283]

Can you do the double crochet on the yellow line

[@joleftwich9071]

I have a lot of Mandala yarn to make a blanket or throw. Just not sure which method to use. Your tutorial was very plain and encouraging which makes me want to try the inset pattern. Since Mandala is dk weight, do you think it will work well?

[@RosinaCrochets]

The weight will be absolutely fine. You will probably want to take care when selecting your contrast colour though, to make sure it isn't too similar to any of the colours in the mandala xx

[@lindalueders8539]

Thank you so much!!! This is really looking great on my blanket! The back is done!!! I’m wondering if it might be ok to do a front loop double crochet border in the line on the front? Or is there a reason this isn’t a good idea?

[@RosinaCrochets]

I don't see why you couldn't ... you might just find it a little fiddly to get your hook under the loop, and I suspect the front post sts would be quicker. By all means try it though xxx

[@ivoneartes.6385]

Perfeito. Parabéns . Vc deveria colocar legenda.

[@elzapolo4474]

oi bom dia tente a opçao abaixo no video para legendas ok

[@mariakristinahawl1640]

Nice envelope border. I don't like to waste yarn with too-long tails to begin with.

[@CherylJewhurst]

I followed these instructions for my Zen Cat blanket but once I washed it, the ends started popping through the border. I can't remember though if I went a size down on the hook. Would that have made the difference?

[@RosinaCrochets]

That's strange. I have never had any ends poke through my double borders. It could be that your stitches were quite loose, or possibly the yarn you used, or even if you cut the ends too short? I almost always use acrylic yarn, and never cut my ends shorter than 1 inch xx

[@RosinaCrochets]

you could also try working rounds of dcs instead of trs (UK terms) x

[@blbeck4042]

Thanks, realy good explaining❣Question, the last picture is a other blanket with connecting balls. Is that also an envelope border with some added stiches?

[@RosinaCrochets]

The last photo is of my Bubbles blanket, and yes that is also an envelope border - written instructions for this design, and the plain version, are both included in the envelope border pattern available from my Ravelry store xx

[@blbeck4042]

@@RosinaCrochets Thanks

[@deniser7573]

Would it not be easier to trim the ends after you crochet the first round of the envelope border?

[@RosinaCrochets]

Personally I find that if the ends are longer when I start the border I get more tangled up, but that may just be the way I crochet. If it works for you thats fine though x

[@elainef.rogers2148]

Rosina Plane, should I buy the pattern linked to this video tutorial from 12/2020 or does this video take the place of the pattern please?

[@RosinaCrochets]

This video shows you the basics of my front post method of starting an envelope border. The written pattern isn't essential, but it does also include an additional border design.

[@cassandrakrieg5639]

Hello!! I’m having a hard time telling, when you are working the second side, it doesn’t look like you’re stitching through that yellow yarn, but underneath it. Is that correct?

[@RosinaCrochets]

On the second border you work around all the same sts / rows that you used on the first border. You should find your hook naturally goes below the sts previously worked.

[@msbryant459]

Doesn't that make the border thicker with all the ends and front and back border together?

[@RosinaCrochets]

Yes, an envelope or double border is thicker and heavier than a standard border, but it doesn't curl like a standard border, and really finishes a blanket beautifully x

[@kevinreid3877]

do you have the pattern for the heart design or do u know where I can find the design you did in the video

[@RosinaCrochets]

The design in the video is my Hugs 2020 square, and is available free from my Ravelry store x

[@Procto111]
