HAVANA CAL - Double Border & Tails in Mosaic Crochet

in this tutorial I show you how to work the double border on my Havana afghan. I also show you a couple of short cuts on how to work the tails if you don't want to make the double border; the twisted fringe and how to crochet over your tails as you go.

Your little tricks to decrease or cover my lazy miscounting is the best thing ever!!

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

crispy critter wow. Thank you so much for that beautiful message... may have just caught something in my eyes there while reading 😉🙈❤️ blessings to you too 😘😘😘😘💃🏽

[@davidcrabb4150]

Hello Tina I have long been an admirer of your excellent teachings but at 83 yrs I have been "avoiding" the envelope border, so I launched into your method and but I still couldn't pick up those pesky little foundation chains?? Then I studied ( for hours ! ) the actual way you handle and insert the hook and bingo I think that I might be getting there. Thankyou so much for your videos, and YES you can teach an old dog new tricks!

[@lindadavis3728]

What an elegant piece of creation. It really is unforgettable. Beautiful job.

[@melindaweasenforth1206]

Something new to learn...this is beautiful I'm so happy to find you. I'm 63 never to old to learn something new....hugs..Lynn Weasenforth..West Virginia...USA

[@arleneevans6342]

Thank you for such beautiful crochet, I’ve been crocheting and knitting all my life and this has got to be the most beautiful I’ve seen, and thank you for showing me a little bit of where my father once lived.

I am doing a cluster crochet baby blanket & now I’m in the process of doing the double border yay 😁💕💕💕🙏 thank you 🙏 🇦🇺

[@tonyavelazquez8482]

Thank you for sharing. Your work is impeccable 😊

[@aarikaheron5109]

I just bought the pattern on Ravelry and used it to make a quick practice swatch. Thank you so much for doing these tutorials! I’ve never done mosaic crochet before because it looked to complicated but your tutorials break it down so easily. I also LOVE the double border technique and hadn’t seen that before. I think I’m going to do that on all my blankets now because it really does give it a professional finish. Thank you so much for your creativity and all the time you spent on this pattern!

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

Aarika Heron thank you so much for your support and encouragement ❤️🙏🏽😘

[@JaninaM]

Fab! Now to get started. Sleeves rolled up and I'm ready to go! 😀 Thanks for this wonderful pattern 💙💙💙

[@sketchist460]

Haha, yes it may be boring, but I don't think anyone is upset with you. Your creations are fabulous, fascinating, and fun! So the boring back side is no trouble since it is definitely worth it in the end. Also you went through so much trouble to record this video, while powering through the boring part. Rock on! :D

WOW!!! I just joined your FB group and this is the first video I watched just because it popped in my KZbin stream. I made a Navajo blanket to give to my son last year but this is WOW!!! Beautiful!!! I can't wait to start!!

[@donnainmt]

I just found you and your videos for the first time today! This pattern is very similar to the Navajo afghans I used to do in the '70's and '80's, but you've taken it one step further with your border. Much more professional looking!

[@girijaanil3855]

QUE MARAVILLAS DE TRABAJOS!!!!! SON IMPECABLES Y BELLISIMOS!!!!! SIGO TODOS Y CADA UNO DE TUS VIDEOS Y TOMO NOTA DE TODOS TUS VALIOSOS CONSEJOS. SALUDOS DESDE ARGENTINA

[@chicagopm]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I've crocheted for many years and just recently heard of this enclosed border. It's going to be life changing! I've always liked frequent color changes between rows but always disliked the effect of weaving all of the ends in (those sides always ended up being wider than the body of the afghan). This looks like it will totally solve that problem! Many thanks for this tutorial!

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

I know!! I like to work over my ends, but when it’s frequent chances than you always end with a slightly pulled sides like you say!! And just wait and see when you try it, because it’s not only a good technical solution, the double border also gives a beautiful professional finish‼️😉🙌🏽🙌🏽💯💃🏻😘

[@lynda3553]

Tinna, I have yet to start this project as I just came across it a couple of weeks ago. I am very impressed with your pattern and plan to start it soon. Your video instructions are quite clear and I thank you for taking the time to explain everything so well. I love this mosaic pattern of yours and it's just waiting on my computer to start up when I finish 3 or 4 of my WIPs. You're a lovely soul and so charming to spend time with in your videos. Thank you so much for the opportunity to make your beautiful design!

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

[@jpeood32]

The double border, IMHO, is they way to go. I tried it out on my beginners watch from you video and it worked just as you said. As you said, use the larger hood for the slip stitches loosely, and they go don 1/2 hood size.
