Now you won't have to add a border once you've completed your design because the border is stitched as you go! You will discover there are a lot of new symbols and new concepts for these borders. This wonderful book includes 25 swatches with different borders, challenging stitches and designs with diagrams to simplify the whole process! Some of the projects you can create from these sample swatches include afghans, doilies, table cloths, pillows, wash cloths, pot holders, shawls, scarves and more. The borders can be stitched only on the top and bottom, left and right or all edges, it's your choice! Sample swatches are shown using different weight yarns and threads. As an extra bonus, we've included 5 beautiful designs using the built-in border method. Designs include a lap throw, a readers wrap, a baby blanket and matching hat and a headband. All are stitched using Plymouth Yarn Encore, medium-weight yarn.
