How to Crochet the Chain Loop Border Edging

11/27/2019 Crochet

Here’s a fun, simple, and easy crochet chain loop border edging. This works great on a scarf, blanket, shawl, and more. The basic stitches of crochet are used, so this is a great beginner crochet border edging.

You can use any number of colors (within reason), which then become the stitch multiple. For this sample, I’m using 3 colors; therefore my stitch multiple is 3. You might find you will want to adjust the number of chains if you are using many colors. For the 3 colors, I like to chain 6. If you are using 4 colors, you might want to experiment with chaining 8 instead of 6.

You can use this on a single side like along the edge of a scarf. Or you can use this in the round, like around a blanket or afghan. Corners are handled the same way as sides are – just keep going around. At the end, be sure to watch the DIY tutorial how to video on wrapping the last chains and weaving in the ends.

I’m using worsted weight yarn and a size G 4 or 4.25 mm crochet hook for this sample. You can use any size or weight of yarn along with its corresponding crochet hook.
