50 Crocheted Afghan Borders (Leisure Arts #4382)

Have you ever completed an afghan and thought there was just something missing? It was really pretty but...well, it seemed to need something else and it wasn't fringe! What that afghan probably needed was a border. And this book by Jean Leinhauser gives you 50 of them, which can be added to just about any afghan, whether it's knitted or crocheted, to provide the finishing touch. Some of the borders are wide and ruffled, some are narrow and tailored. Others are very feminine, some are more masculine. All of them are fun to work and will turn the plainest afghan into something very special. Stapled; 32 pages. more

50 Crocheted Afghan Borders

This book sure saved me when I was trying to crochet an afghan for my granddaughter last year for Christmas. She picked out a pattern that would not work for me, so I designed it myself and chose a border from this book that got a lot of raves from our family.

Great addition to a crochet library

Sometimes an afghan needs a finishing touch. This book has it! I have used it twice already and I've only had the book for 3 weeks. Great color pictures, easy to follow patterns and everything from plain to super fancy. You're sure to find one that's perfect for your project.

Very workable patterns

The book has full color pictures and good stitch counts for all the borders. I give it only 4 stars because many of the borders come without designed corners, a bit of a problem if you want them for an afghan. That said, they generally have short repeats, which should allow for fudging when...

Well worth buying!

This book is perfect for any one who crochets afghans. One can turn an afghan from "blah" to "extra special" with the borders to choose from in this book. Not only can the these patterns be used for afghans, but adjusting yarn and hook size will turn out beautiful trim for other projects as...
