Crochet for Knitters - Scalloped Edge

One of my favorite ways to work crochet into your knitting is with crocheted edgings. Here I show you how to work a simple scalloped edge.

Crochet instructions for the scalloped edge:
Single crochet into 1 stitch, *skip 2 stitches, 5 double crochets into next stitch, skip next 2 stitches, single crochet into next stitch, repeat from *. End by working a slip stitch into first single crochet. Note -- at the corners of a square, work your count so that you work the double crochet stitches in the corner. I found that working 8 single crochets (instead of 5) made a nice corner.

Knitting instructions for the long moss stitch:
CO an even number of stitches.
Row 1 (WS): *K1, P1*, repeat to end of row
Row 2: *P1, K1*, repeat to end of row
Row 3: *P1, K1*, repeat to end of row
Row 4: *K1, P1*, repeat to end of row
Row 5: *K1, P1*, repeat to end of row
Repeat Rows 2-5 to desired length. BO in pattern on RS of work.

I love the edging. Just learning to knit but I have crocheted for many many years. I love the crocheted edges to the knit. Thanks for a great video.

Your videos are excellent! I didn’t know how to crochet at all but using this video I made a scallped edge on a baby bonnet and a picot edge on a pair of socks. You make everything crystal clear. Thank you for all your hard work on these wonderful tutorials!

You work the crocheted stitches into the knitted piece, so in the example I show you, you work into the Vs (of the bind-off row) in the orange piece.

I am doing a baby blanket with four colors.
Can the edging work for blanket that I am doing?
