This is just a short post. If you crochet fleece blankets and have only done 90 degree corners, you should try rounded corners. Also, if you crochet fleece blankets you should look into joining or contributing to Project Linus since there are chapters all over the US.
I learned this from a woman in the Dallas chapter of Project Linus — round the corners so you just cruise around them when crocheting the border on a fleece blanket. She was so good at it she could do it free hand — I’m not so good, so I made a template using a dinner plate since it’s a good curve for the corner. Anything smaller makes the corners too tight.
Cutting and pinning 2 layer fleece blanket with rounded corners
The border isn’t finished, but it gives you and idea of how it looks when crocheted. On this blanket I added 4 stitches in each corner when I jumped to the larger crochet stitch so the border wouldn’t be tight and cup at the corners.
Once I tried the rounded corners I never want to go back to 90 degree corners again.
