10 Ways To Get The Perfect Finish On Your Crochet Afghan

As I mentioned in the previous post '10 Different Ways to Join Granny Squares' I like to plan ahead with my blankets/afghans. I always have an idea in my head how I would like it to end up and generally they come together pretty well.

Today I thought I could do a roundup of 10 different crochet borders. I hope this will help you plan the end result you would like for your afghan (if that is what you are making with your granny squares from the CAL)

Since eventually we will want to be joining our granny squares to create a blanket or other item I thought we could do a roundup of all the different techniques so you can plan your blanket. Some of these methods allow you to join as you go which is pretty handy if you are making a large blanket like me.

Note: if any of these tutorials are yours and you would like them removed please let me know :)
