Help please!! Looking for an edging

[*Dee*]

I am crocheting a baby blanket for a co-worker. Christina is having a baby

girl and I am using pastel colored yarn (pink, green, yellow, blue, lavendar

and white) in a fan stitch. I would like to make a ruffle border/edging for

it ... and I can't find a pattern anywhere! I have searched my

crochet 'library' (a rather large one at that) and have searched the

sites with no luck.

 

Does anyone have a pattern to share or thoughts where I could look?

 

Many thanks in advance!!

what about an edging of shells and then go back for a second round and do picots on the shells? might look kind of ruffly...

Okay I have an idea if you work around the blanket as though you were making a ruffle scarf it would look like a ruffle I think. I would do it like this...

Row 1) single crochet evenly around blanket (add extra stiches at corners so they will lay flat) join turn

row 2) ch three work 1 dbl in same st as join work 2 dbl in each stich around

 

that should give you a ruffle if you want the ruffle longer

row 3) work 2 dbls in first stitch then one in next stitch alternating around

 

I hope you understand this, I have no idea how to write a pattern:think . I also hope this is what you were looking for:D
