needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1 \u2013 Foundation Row<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Attach yarn to the edge of your piece (or chain a foundation if working separately).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work <strong>sc<\/strong> evenly across the edge (or foundation chain) to create a stable base.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At the end of the row, ch 1,

end.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At end of row: sc in last stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ch 1, turn.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You now have a row of chain-4 loops that will hold the heart motifs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3 \u2013 Row 3 \u2013 Heart Motif Row<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>sc in first stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In each chain-4 loop from previous row work the heart motif: e.g. <strong>(dc 3, ch 2, dc 3)<\/strong> into the loop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then sc in the next base stitch (the one

class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use a <strong>different colour<\/strong> for the heart motifs to make them stand out against the base.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjust <strong>loop size<\/strong>: if ch 4 loops feel too large or wide for your yarn\/hook, you can use ch 3 instead for a tighter look.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For larger motifs, use <strong>dc 5, ch 3, dc 5<\/strong> instead of dc 3\/ch2\/dc3.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This border works beautifully for <strong>blankets<\/strong>, <strong>shawls<\/strong>, <strong>towels<\/strong>, <strong>table runners<\/strong>, or as a decorative trim on garments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When edging corners (in case of rectangle fabric), add extra stitches at corners such as <em>3 extra sc or a fan cluster<\/em> to help the lace turn smoothly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep your loops and motifs consistent in size; if the border begins to <strong>pull in<\/strong> or <strong>flare out<\/strong>, adjust your chain-spaces or stitch counts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Video: <a
