The lovely and talented Edie Eckman is back with another fantastic book - Every Which Way Crochet Borders! And lucky me, I get to be part of her blog tour - which is lucky for you, because that means I can share one of the patterns from her new book here for free! Isn't it gorgeous!?
It's a stunning border, and the perfect combo of lace and substance. I love that you could stop at any point in the pattern and have something new and different! And color changes would really create all sorts of looks with this one too - I hope you enjoy it!
