- 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.
Written instructions and couple free border charts now on Ravelry as well (all updates, if any, will be posted there) www.ravelry.co...

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!
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.
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
You are very kind! Appreciate a lot! ❤️
I , too , appreciate ladies and gents sharing quite unique skills and designs - their heart of arts - from all over the world. I am not afraid to watch a video with a foreign title or foreign language spoken in it. My eyes can read every word their hands are saying.
All except two of the gazillion videos I've watched, and saved to my library, were not good at lighting, or showing, and demonstrating pertinent points throughout their filming. I dare say many of them are much better than any English as a first language speakers. It is true that English as a second language speakers , EASLs, are in fact from countries where there is much more oral tradition and the tradition of passing on handskills, handcrafted arts, attention to details... it's as if the love of and for the ancestors and of their lands is being passed down through generations and is sacrosanct. It's like they are loving us and showing us the hospitality of their hearts. They love their arts and they love to present it to the world.
@kayceegreer4418 you are very kind! Appreciate a lot warm feedback, your support, understanding and appreciation! ❤️
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.
Game changer!
I just finished a double border and it was a struggle. Now that I've seen your video, I'm really looking forward to my next mosaic project. This changes everything! Thank you!
Happy you like it!
I have never attempted a double border before and had great success with this method - it is brilliant!
Happy to hear that! ❤️
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.
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! Wonderful innovative ideas. You seem to have a boundless imagination. I’m excited to see all that you create and share.
Thank you so much! You are very kind! ❤️❤️❤️
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.
Thank you very much! Definitely, the practice makes it perfect ❤️❤️❤️
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!!
I am so pleased to hear that! Wishing an easy learning! Mosaic crochet is really easy though and addictive ☺
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.
Excellent technique. I'm excited to use it for my next project.
Very happy to hear that!
Ty for teaching me this, I can't wait to apply this technique to my project❤
My pleasure! I am happy if it will be useful! ❤️
love the technique, but it would be helpful to show how to handle the very first row after the foundation chain.
Maybe this video will help ua-cam.com/video/DIJBQRrL99o/v-deo.html It starts at about 13th min of video
I struggled with the Standing Double crochet start stitch too. Looks like normal SC to me! lol
❤️
❤️thank you
Beautiful works of art.
Thank you very much! ♥️
Brilliant!!! Thank you for sharing your technique!
My pleasure! Happy you like! ❣
Thanks so very much for sharing! Brilliant
Love it! I can't wait to try this.
I love your Icord foundation 😍. Don’t like the back bump method. Thank you for sharing 🎉
Thank you! My favorite as well 🥰
😮 thank you!! 😊❤❤❤
Looks so much easier 😀
Magnifique bordure🥰
Beautiful
Brilliant!
Love it, thank you very much
Thank you! Happy to hear that! ❣
Thank you ♥
brilliant!
Me quedé fascinada!!... con la explicación, ojala pueda hacerlo en mi proximo proyecto...Hola Beba Blanket....te saludo desde Perú..donde está una de las maravillas del mundo....en Cusco, Machu Picchu...y donde se come el rico ceviche..
Do you just double the length? For example If afghan is 60” do you use 120” of yarn?
It's very hard to see how you do the end of row crochet hook. Do you push the legs to the right or the left?
Always leave two legs on the outside of your project
Great nails!
Thank you 😊
Any tips for curving in my work. I love your icord method of starting. Maybe I need to go up in hook size for this?
I always use the same size hook, but you can try if you feel it's too tight
@@BebaBlanket thank you for your advice!
Thanks to your excellent video I figured out what my problem was. I was pulling too tightly on the foundation I cord. I tried it again with the same size hook and it is coming out much better now. Thank you for this excellent video and helpful advice
do you also have a video for this blanket. I love it
thank you so much! I am not sure which pattern do you mean. In general, I do not make video tutorials for mosaic crochet patterns as I believe they are really easy to follow
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
We cannot see, the wool is brown, it's too dark:
👍 thanks
Is there a pdf for this that i can print out?
Yes, it's available on Ravelry www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/double-border-easy-start-three-magic-steps
Time stamp 22:15 Not necessary to go down the side of the project tying knots.
Just can’t follow. I’m from USA.
This video would be good if the audio was not cutting in and out. I couldn't understand what was being said half the time.
I don't think the video audio has issues. Maybe it's your device. I looked through the video few times and had no issues.
Thank you so much for this video! This makes it so much less intimidating. Can't wait to try it.
My pleasure! Enjoy! I use this technique for all my overlay mosaic crochet in rows projects ❤️❤️❤️
Daiga, the double border shall be a breeze henceforth ;) Much thanks, dearie
I've made a few of these now and prefer them to other ways of doing them, much more simple and less bulky.
I LOVE THIS BORDER METHOD!!! ❤❤❤❤ Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your game changing way of creating a double border. 😊❤️
C'est dommage je ne comprends rien je n'arrive pas à faire les bordures😢
I was waiting to see you work in those ends.
Fabulous game changer indeed
Great technique! You mention that the border pattern you are using (the grey and purple one) would be offered on an upcoming pattern. Can you please tell me where I can find it? Thank you!
Thank you so much! It's the pattern Awesome Mood ravel.me/awesome-mood
5:48 standing single crochet slipknot - too quick for me to follow. Is there another video that slows that down some?
You can adjust the speed of the video.
Thank you so much for making this video! You have answered all my questions and the border is just beautiful. Well done!
I am very happy to hear you find it useful!
That’s a game changer! Thanks 😘
Happy to hear that! I have never looked back after l found this way!
Oh WOW! I really wish I had found this video before I was 128 rows into a 450 row project LOL!
I understand! You can use it for your next project ❤️🥰❤️
