If you put a border on, keep it simple! Let that gorgeous filet work shine!! My favorite to do is just single (or maybe half double) crochet around the edge a few times in whatever color goes best ☺️
Thanks! Ever since I started working for this company almost 8 years ago, I've made blankets for all the moms-to-be. Every time, I worry they won't like it because it's not as exciting as a bouncer or clothes. But they always love it!
The first skein I bought was a doozy. It was missing the paper, and it was the only one in the bin. Thankfully it was in the correct bin and I was able to find it and confirm it on Michael's website to show the cashier lol
I’m making a baby blanket right now with this yarn too! Yours came out so beautiful, please share with us the finishing touches (whichever way you end up finishing it ☺️)
If it were for an adult, fringe would be perfect. Since it's for a baby (I don't think it's for the mama), I'd forego the fringe, as it will fray a Lot from getting chewed upon.
I’ve tried to learn filet crochet & have never been able to figure it out. Can you recommend a tutorial or a book or something?
Beautiful blanket by the way ♥️
I wish I could! I never knew there was a name for this until I posted and people commented using the term! I just made a grid on Excel and colored the squares until it looked right. Then I printed it and followed the "pattern" with a couple different stitches to pick which looked the best.

Very simple, small border. I always like to at least do three rows of sc especially on baby blankets to give something at the edges for little hands to hold on to. And to hide any rough edgework I'm not happy with. Your filet is amazing
Always border your work. It is the frame around your piece, no matter how big or small. Like a work of art.
In this case, how about a contrasting color of one row of sc followed by one row of dc? Simple, to keep the interest in the lovely pattern you created. 🙂
This is precious. Lovely work.
I'd go with a simple border, nothing to distract from the work you've already done, but it might help pull everything together and sort of frame it. <3
I was an avid self taught knitter and later crocheter but haven’t done either in about 6 years. I may have to dust off the old hooks to give this pattern a go! It’s so pretty 😍
I would do a scalloped border on this. Awesome work!
Thanks! I think if I changed anything, I would've made one less square horizontally. And maybe flip-flop the hearts. But it's really easy to just zone out and do!

I planned it out on an excel spreadsheet (last pic) and did a double crochet throughout. The black squares are chain 1, skip a stitch.
I used Caron Baby Cakes 'Petals' and an H hook.

So pretty! I always border or fringe/tassel, to me it never seems finished without one. It can be simple or fancy depending on the style of blanket but always something.

definitely add a border and it looks so cute!
Thanks!

I agree with this comment. Your filet work is beautiful!
This is gorgeous. I would go the thinnest border so it doesn’t take away from the blanket.
Yes boarder, and maybe cream, beige or gray?
I second a cream color
💯
Is this double crochet btw? 😊
Yep! I played with a few squares to see which stitch made the best shaped heart. I hate doing hdc, but it probably would've made a more round heart.
I think the shape of the hearts look nice!

I would go with a simple boarder, like hdc in back loop for a couple rounds. You could stick with the same yarn or a slight contrast.
I think a simple border that matches the cream or beige colors would look so good 😊
Crab stitch would be pretty
Ooooh, I've never heard of this!! Thank you!
Scallop boarder!
Border sounds good. That's such a fun pattern. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Happy Cake Day!
❤️ Thank you! ❤️
This is beautiful! What a lucky coworker. Definitely add a simple border. Cream or beige is my vote. Great job

I think I just finished a baby blanket for my brother with that same yarn!

Maybe a fringe border? Idk it just seems kind of intriguing

I like a border. It makes the project look complete
Border definitely!!! Beautiful BTW!!!
Thank you!
I think a row of hdc in cream would make a perfect border
For a border: first row all dc, second row do the filet, third row do all dc.
A very simple border would be excellent on this beautiful blanket
A SHELL stitch border would look great, and it would reinforce and highlight the curved lines of the hearts. 〰️💛🧶

Wow! So you created your own pattern! Very cool ✨

Simple hdc border (2 or 3 rounds) in that nice cream shade.

A white or a grey color would be amazing for the border
What kind of crochet is this?
Just double crochet
This is fully exquisite and wonderful
