    About this ebook

    There's no need to add a border once you've completed your design because the border gets stitched as you go using this book. This wonderful manual includes 25 swatches with different borders. Some of the projects you can create from these sample swatches include afghans, doilies, table cloths, pillows, wash cloths, pot holders, shawls, scarves, and more. Borders can be stitched on any or all edges—it's your choice! Sample swatches are shown using different weight yarns and threads. As an extra bonus, we've included five beautiful designs using the built-in border method: a lap throw, a reader's wrap, a headband, and a baby blanket with a matching hat. All are stitched using Plymouth Yarn Encore, a medium-weight yarn.

      Lots of stitches that look simple enough for intermediate crocheters to do and several projects that utilize these stitches, though most would work up well as an afghan or blanket without anything extra. I can't wait to try these!
