Easy Crochet Rolling Fans Border Photo Tutorial
If you are looking for an easy crochet border to decorate your blanket with, I have the perfect one for you: the Rolling Fans Border.
The Rolling Fans Border is constructed with overlapping shells of double crochet stitches crocheted around the border, each 3 stitches wide.
It doesn’t require a special pattern for corners and that makes it a beginner-friendly pattern that can be adjusted to any project.
It works great for any kind of edge, from square and rectangle projects such as blankets and afghans, to triangle edges such as shawls or straight edges such as scarves. You can even crochet it on a round edge such as a dress.

Notes
- stitches contained within ** are the repeat section for that row

Instructions
Step 1: join in any stitch on your project – because this border doesn’t have a specific corner pattern, you can join in any stitch on your project
Step 2: ch3, counting backward sk2 and sl st in 3rd stitch
Step 3: ch3, 6dc in the ch3 space
Step 4: counting forwards sk2 and sl st in 3rd stitch
Repeat steps 2 -4 until you reach the end of the row. If you are crocheting this border in the round like I did, repeat the 4 steps until you have finished the last shell in the same stitch where you started (the same stitch where you have joined the yarn).
