Curling Waves Crochet Border tutorial
The Curling Waves Crochet Border is a crochet border with a unique ocean wave-like appearance. An easy two row stitch pattern with a lot of wow factor! Don’t worry, this border isn’t as complicated as it may appear. The base of the border is a row of single crochet with chains and skipped stitches. The waves are multiple double crochet stitches worked over a previously worked double crochet post. Really easy to do once you know where you are working those stitches.

I am disappointed that we no longer are able to purchase crochet pattern brochures at the yarn shops as we did several years ago. It so inconvenient to get these patterns printed from one's computer. I hope crochet companies will reconsider bringing back the option of purchasing PRINTED PATTERNS again. Thank you for hearing me.
