Border Instructions
Step 1: Join in any stitch along your border with a slip knot and a ch1.
Step 2: Hold the loop on your hook with your thumb, twist your hook and insert it into the stitch to your right, from front to back.
Step 3: pick up the yarn on the other side and pull up a loop (don’t yarn over, just hook it and pull it through), you will have 2 loops on your hook.
Step 4: Yarn over and pull up through the 2 loops on your hook.
Repeat steps 2-4 in every stitch around your border until you reach the stitch where you joined your yarn.
