How to Crochet the Large Leaf Stitch 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 Large Leaf Stitch Border.

The Large Leaf Stitch Border is constructed with clusters of double crochet stitches built on top of each other to form large leaf-shaped triangles around the border.

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.
