CoronaCal borders: EYE MOTIF AND SQUARE



Please read carefully there are options for the border depending on 
how you joined your blanket together and if you added half eye motifs

RIPPLE ENDS PATTERN:

This was given a week or so ago, just to do the ripple ends and then the half 
eye motifs if added would straighten the other two side of the blanket.

Some have used two half eyes and some have use one half eye motif each end.

I actually am not a lover of half motifs and decided to edge my blanket with 
no half motifs so there will be a selection of ways to finish your blanket

ORIGINAL RIPPLE END PATTERN
Having joined 10 'eye' motifs together in a side by side with long half motifs 
at each corner, the blanket now has a deep ripple edge on two sides.

IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE THE RIPPLE ENDS THEN SCROLL DOWN TO DO THE COMPLETE 5 ROUND BORDER PATTERN BELOW

US terms
Aran 5mm hook DK 4mm Hook

NOTE: For me the 2 row join colours were cream then camel so the colours to make the ripple match the eye motif joins will be the same, camel first and 
then the cream so it matches the joining

ROW 1: Att. camel yarn in the first sp, ch2, counts as first dc, 3dc into same 
sp, 3dc in next 8sps, miss the next dip sp, 3dc in next 8sps, 3dc, ch3, 3dc in point, repeat to end and finish with 4dc in last sp of last half eye motif.

ROW 2: Att. cream, and repeat row 1.

If you added the 2 rows of the ripple border and are now adding the border
