1 Crochet Edging by Annemaries Haakblog.

Such a cute, pretty and simple edging.

The pattern is explained in both English and Dutch on Annemaries’ blog.

No matter what type of crochet project you are doing, this easy-to-make edging will come in very handy.

This is a cute border that goes on just about everything not only on blankets or afghans, although I love it most on a baby blanket.

It is little, delicate, and cute and is better if the fabric is thin.

The suggested yarn for this lovely edging is cotton.

It is also beautiful on any linen handkerchiefs or napkins.

This crochet edging comes with a written pattern as well as with very detailed photos.

18. Edging for a Giant Granny by Kimberly Pye

This pattern assumes you know enough to have already made the giant granny on your own. It also assumes you made the little shell things with three double-crochets (or what have you) and put 1 single crochet between each shell (two in the corners). I’m sure you can adjust this pattern to just about granny-square-making method you choose.

19. Baby picot edging by Wendy Harbaugh. This pattern is so adorable, it’s almost addictive!

any yarn will work with for this with matching hook size.

20. Cathedral Edging by Leonie Morgan. Another great old pattern mirroring the triangle shape.

A great edging for blankets and throws. You will probably have to “fudge” row 4 (add or skip stitches) to ensure that you have a multiple of 6 stitches along each edge plus one stitch for each corner.
