Notes:
This pattern is worked flat. The border is worked in sections. The longer sides are worked first. The shorter sides are worked last.
Chains at beginning of row count as a stitch unless otherwise stated.
A standing double crochet can be substituted for the beginning row chains. I find this will give a neater finish.
Stitch counts appear in purple.
[Next stitch] can be a filet hole, Dc, or what is next.

Border Left and Right Side (Longer Edge):
Note: Place Dc first St (Chs to Start) into the top of the first Dc on its side. The next Dc should be placed into the base of that St. Following Sts, place into the base of each St.
Turn the blanket on to its side. Attach C2 at the corner edge with a Slst.

Rep Row 1 until you have 8 Rows. Fasten off and cut yarn.
Rep these steps for the other short edge.
How to Block:
Using a clean spray bottle and water, dampen the blanket. If you have blocking boards large enough, lay the blanket out on them. If not find a flat clean surface to lay out.
Stretch the blanket gently into the shape you want it to dry in. Straighten the border. Pin (if you are on a surface which allows this).
Allow to dry
Finishing:
With RS facing. Using C1. Join with a Slst into any Cnr. Sc into each St around working 3 Sc into the Cnrs. Close the round with a Slst.
Sew in any ends.
Block the Blanket for best results.
