Instructions

- Overall the placement of the yarn doesn’t matter too much since it is a single stitch border.
- Then ch x1, and make a sc in the same stitch you attached your yarn to.
- Step 2: Then continue to make 1 single crochet in each stitch across the row.
- Step 3: When you reach a corner, sc, ch, and then sc into the same space.
- For the raw edge, make 1 sc per row. If your project uses double crochets as the base do 2 sc per row.
- Once all of the sides of the project are done, sl st to the first sc.
- Fasten off and weave in the ends.
- And now you know how to make a single crochet border! A great foundational crochet border to know how to make.
