Looking for a cute and simple edging pattern for your blanket? Try this crochet moss stitch border!
As the same suggests, this border pattern uses the moss stitch to add a very simple and elegant finishing touch to your crochet project. You can use the moss stitch border on blankets, placemats, scarves, or really any project that needs a nice border.
I used the moss stitch border for my C2C Waffle Baby Blanket. The blanket is already full of texture, so I wanted a simple border that wouldn’t add any bulk to my finished blanket.
And the moss stitch is perfect for that! It is light, simple, and elegant!
