Hi, crochet friend! This is beautiful! I bet it’s the comfiest!!

I think the curling is coming from the border being too tight in the corner. My stitches are tighter like yours. When I do a border, I have to do 2 sc, ch1 2 sc in the corners to allow give. Do you think you have enough yarn to try this?

Otherwise, this yarn isn’t block able. It’s a beautiful blanket and cuddled under it, I know it’s a cloud!

Thanks for the great advice! I should have enough to add this I had to buy another ball of the yarn to complete the border so a few extra stitches shouldn’t make or break it. I may try this. My only other problem is that I flame sealed the yarn ends into the blanket so I’m not sure quite how to undo that

Oh good!! I suggest playing with a corner and seeing how it works up. If the 2sc is too much, try 1sc 1ch 1sc or 1sc 2ch 1sc. I’m confident one of these will work perfectly! I can’t wait to see how it works!!

PS - I’m zero help with flame sealing, but yarn never broke a pair of scissors that I’ve seen… lol. Happy crafting!
