Beautiful stitch and the video is very easy to follow with clear instructions. I was just wondering about one thing though... how would you work down the sides when putting on a border? Thank you for all your hard work you put in to your videos, it shows.

[@HookedbyRobin]

I sandwich in the floats - so crochet the border as normal but crochet over the floats as you go - it hides them all completely! 😀

[@KrissD.]

This looks great and easier than I thought 😜 Could you use this to make a blanket? And where those floaters are on sides… how could you do a simple border around the blanket then to also cover up those sides where the floaters are? 😊 Thank you for sharing this. 💜🥰💜

[@HookedbyRobin]

You can pop any border you fancy on! Simply treat it the same as any other blanket when bordering, just sandwich the floated tails in as you go :)

Well! Now I'm going to have to make a chenille blanket with this stitch too! I'm working on making a C2C JAYG gingham blanket now, and I'm a few rows in, but I'm genuinely considering frogging it and using this stitch instead. C2C JAYG isn't hard once you get going, but there's a lot of ends to manage, and chenille yarn is a real pain when it comes to end management.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Chenille and ends are a nightmare combination! This would be GORGEOUS in a soft chenille 😍

I ran across the Trio blanket which seems very similar to the stitch here, except it uses 6+4 and a HDC on the first row. I bought 3 different colorways of the Scheepjes Whirl cakes for it; now I'm torn as to whether to follow what you did or the Trio pattern. She uses a 'fancy' stitch at the end to avoid the bigger holes a chain 3 for the DC leaves at the edge. Do you think that's an issue? I've never used a patter with DC stitch; I have knitted for years but just taught myself crochet for the amigurumis and baby blankets. You're my favorite instructor!!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Personally, given how expensive the Whirls are, I'd follow the Trio blanket pattern as it's been designed for the fine yarn :)

What kind of border would you recommend for this blanket? Do you think you could do four stitches on either end and then put the border around the outside stitches to give the edges a cleaner look with still having the three stitches along the sides?

Now thinking about a red, white and blue lap blanket as I am in powerchair. Approximately how much yarn of each color would I need for a 36 inch wide by 50 inch long blanket?

[@HookedbyRobin]

This is a very tricky question to answer as there are so many variables! How much yarn you need will depend on which yarn you choose, the thickness of that yarn, your tension and how large you want your finished project to be. I suggest making a small sample first so you can gauge how much yarn you'll need. If making a crochet square, you can weigh your finished square to work out how much yarn it used!

[@peggygreenhill494]

Robin I love the look of this pattern. I always feel a blanket needs a final boarder to gives it a finished look. What kind of boarder would you suggest?
