6. Finish:
- Tie a string and cut it into long tails.
- Use a cotton needle to weave on any loose part to get a clean finish.
7. Boundaries (optional):
- To add a simple border, you can sew a single stitch or double stitch evenly around the edges of the quilt using A or B colors.
8. Blocking (optional):
- Preventing your finished blanket can help even out the tailoring and improve the overall look. Follow the blocking instructions for the yarn you selected.
And that’s it! You easily finished the two-color baby blanket. This simple pattern is great for beginners and allows you to play with colors to create a warm and beautiful blanket for the baby.
