The Smitten Border Pattern will be published on my Etsy shop this Friday. I’m very excited to add this new crochet pattern to my little CrochetObjet shop F i n a lly !! and I really hope you’ll like it. I knew from the first moment that it’s gonna take me ages to write it down properly but here it is.

The Smitten Border Pattern

This is a very detailed step-by-step crochet pattern. The Smitten border made out of a variety of stitches in different combinations, ending with a small picot detail along the edge. You know me already, I need details and it’s not making my life easy when it comes to pattern writing. But I’ve still kept it simple and wrote it clearly. I created an easy to follow pattern, with pictures along. And what about you? You just have to be familiar with the basics of crochet and you’ll enjoy every minute of it. Plus I put some detailed explanations for special techniques. This Smitten border pattern provides hours of crochet pleasure.

Border Research & Development

It took me ages to write down the pattern just as it took quite a journey to create the Smitten Border.Smitten border research

I designed this lace-y border for my blanket right after I finished joining my squares. It took a few trials till I found the one that floats my boat. I was looking for a wide and rich border, but on the other hand not too heavy one. I wanted a border that continues the elegant and vintage appearance of the squares and will keep the whole feel of this unique crochet piece. After a long research I had it. I found what I wanted. When I finally started crocheting my Smitten Border, I had the most enjoyable hours of crochet. The best part of the work.
