Double border. Easy start. Three magic steps

Edit: I missed an important info when working the first round of the double border. Really sorry for that
On each side (left and right of your project, where you have tails) you have to work single crochet into each stitch, BUT on top and bottom (the first and the last rows of your project) you have to skip the first and the last stitches before or after the corner. Hope that makes sense. I will prepare a written file and as soon as it is ready, will add a link here in comments.

This is such a game changer! I've loved double boarders for a long time, but HATE starting them. I've tried multiple methods and invented several of my own...but none of them came even close to as easy as this looks! THANKYOU!

Im always impressed and touched by people, from all over the world, who go to so much trouble to explain their amazing techniques in crochet (and knitting), and then make it available for us for free! So much to learn, so uplifting. Thank you

A suggestion for working the i-cord, instead of guessing the tail length use both ends of the yarn, inside and outside. tie them together in a slip knot and work as usual.

I am process of finishing a pillow cover in mosaic crochet. A leaf pattern from another Artist. I used this border technique to cover the working edges on the front. I trimmed the excess yarns and decided to stuff the top and bottom edges. It made a puffed edge all the way around the pillow. I will continue using this technique for future mosaic creations. Thank you for the crochet lesson!

You’re such a great teacher, and that’s coming from a retired teacher. I’m brand new to crochet, and I’ve already learned so much that long crocheting friends have never heard of. Yours is my new favorite channel ❤️

Hello, it’s a very good way to start this border… I’ve learned a log time ago to start this border with a row of half double crochet all around the blanket than use the back loop for the back side of the border and the front loop for the front side, works very well to😊

Thank you so much for this video! This makes it so much less intimidating. Can't wait to try it.

My tip for working into the back bump of the chain is to make the chain with a bigger hook and then switch to a smaller one, and the bumps are easier to enter.

Your work is so beautiful. . . I'm still at the training stage and my borders definitely don't look neat. never mind, practice makes perfect 😊 Thank you for sharing your technic.

I have never attempted a double border before and had great success with this method - it is brilliant!

[joseanker]

I’m struggling with the end stitches. I just can’t see what you’re doing and how you’re doing it. I slowed the video down but I still can’t get to look neat and tidy

[joseanker]

Absolutely splendid technique. The best I’ve seen and I will use it on my project I’m about to start. Than you! You’re a genius designer.

I want to start doing mosaic crochet so I was looking to learn all the techniques before diving in. Your videos are the best thing that could have happened for me!!

This looks amazing! I'm always looking for better techniques, and the double border is a common pain point for everyone. I'd love to share this with my customers with your permission. I would, of course, give credit to you.
