It has been such a pleasure to design and crochet each of the members of the LOTR Fellowhsip of the Ring. I know many of you have been anxiously waiting for the final installments of this blanket.
I thank everyone for their patience. Between COVID and a really severe cough that inflamed my back, gave me headaches, and left me listless, it has been a rough six weeks.
I know some of you have been making this blanket to gift to someone special. So, let’s get ‘er done. Fortunately, there are still six weeks until Christmas and this border panel stitches up quickly.
The Fellowship C2C Crochet Border Panel is pretty straightforward. You’ll notice that it has 77 squares instead of the 75 squares that are the equivalent of 3 blocks. This is because I am allowing for the brown sashing that we’ll be adding later around each square. If you don’t want sashing around each block (not recommended), then leave off one column on the right and left of the panel.
Next post we’ll crochet the final border panel in The Fellowship of the Ring C2C Crochet Afghan.
