Crochet Borders2

Notę that when you’re worki ng back and forth, both the '‘right side” and the “wrong side" of the stitches show alternately on the right side of your border. While it wont look exactly like the borders shown on the foliowi ng pages, it's still correct. If you fi nd you dont like the way the wrong side of the stitches looks, try worki ng Row 1 as a wrong-side row, then conti nue to work back and forth. This will switch the right and wrong sides ofthe border and may provide you with a morę pleasing design. Alternately, you could start every row with a new length of yarn, beginning on the right edge of each row (left edge for lefties), to maintain all rows as right-side rows. Some charts actually cali for this method (see #43, fbrexample).

Border #18 worked in the round. This requires a base round with a muttipte of6 stitches plus 4, plus the comer stitches. All ofthese stitches appearwth their right sides showng.
