which can make turning corners a bit difficult.
In this photo, Nutmeg is watching Maestro who is the blurry black form on the base of the cat tree. Maestro is probably waiting her turn on the soft yarn nest.
Here Nutmeg has claimed the folded afghan on the table
and Katniss looks to be waiting her turn.
Crochet time stands still for cat naps.
... and I knew it was what I wanted to make my for my border on this project.
On this site the border stitch is called
Front and Back Post Double Crochet (FPDC & BPDC)
which accurately describes the stitch process.
There is a video swatch tutorial swatch for this stitch
I followed my own muse and I think my corners are different.
For turning my corners, I stopped the front post and back post repeat and stitched 5 regular double crochets one double crochet in the corner.
When I come to the corner, I add a back post and then a front post double crochet to the first two stitches in the corner shell. Then I make a Five DC shell in the third DC. Then I do a FPDC and and BPDC in the fourth and fifth DC. Then I proceed to do the alternating FPDC and BPDC along the side.
My 8 rounds started with a Single Crochet Row and 5 Double Crochets in the corner.
Then I made my first FPDC and BPDC in the post for the single crochet.
When will it end?
I really like this border and plan to continue on with the help of the kitties
to make four more rows.

I can't wait to see the finished afghan, it looks so cozy and comfy!
Your blanket is looking wonderful! I like that border a lot. I also love Daisy Farm Crafts as a resource. They have so many lovely patterns.
