The “How to Crochet the Granny Teardrop Afghan Border” just made its debut on YouTube.
Learn to put the finishing touches on the Granny Teardrop Afghan! While the Granny Teardrop Motif is a new shape, the border rows transform a traditional granny square afghan into a masterpiece!
In this stitch-by-stitch crochet tutorial you will learn the secrets of the 3 row border! Each serves a purpose and adds a design element!
1. The first row elongates the teardrops in such a way that the scallops along the edge drape ever so neatly.
2. The second row introduces a contrasting color to create a border stripe that boldly accentuates the shape of the teardrops along all four sides.
3. Returning to the border color, the third and final row unifies the design and punctuates the outer edge with perfectly formed picots. Its the little picots (or points) that add pizzazz!
Before you start the outer border, all the motifs including squares and teardrops must be assembled. Then the magic begins!
