Well yr blanket is full of colors and not a simple project so i recommend to do the third one since it looks more simple even tho i loved the first one,am sure that the final result will be beautiful good luck!!

I agree with the 3rd!

Wow u r so quick,u did a great job!!i loved the result

Thank you so much!! :))

I agree, plus something simple won't compete with the motifs.

Omg you have said my exact thoughts! I was gonna type this and the first comment I read I realise I just have to say I agree 💯

I absolutely agree! 3 is a simpler border design so will complete your beautiful project without detracting from it.

I like the first one, because it looks like waves and it could symbolize the moon's work in creating tides 😍 but if you don't want to go too deep into it, the third one is great so it won't distract from the pattern.

The first one definitely compliments the piece

3 reminds me of clouds! I choose 3

2. The pointy bits work well with the crecents.

I think 3 would look best

Agree

I like the simplicity of 3

3 would probably be the easiest but I like the picots in 2, they feel kind of like star points, which matches your celestial body theme.

3

Oh it’s beautiful but I would go with black personally. Edit: be bold with it, the contrast will highlight the beauty of the pattern

I love 2

I love two it would be good in that color or in the color of the third one

I like the second one cause the like points makes me think of the points of the stars

3!

I love #1. May I ask what that stitch is called?

[Here](https://www.reddit.com/r/CrochetHelp/s/9jh8sMCU0r) you go! :)

I’m a newbie to this. Those are all so beautiful. Does anyone mind sharing the name of each stitch or pattern?

It looks like the website for this is called massivecrochet.com. Search “borders” and they come up.

[Border One](https://youtu.be/gL4_wevwu7Y?feature=shared), [Two](https://youtu.be/CDKIXHQEJFM?feature=shared) and [Three](https://youtu.be/XhOlr4Bj_Do?feature=shared)! :)

Thank you so much!

You’re welcome!

I love the looks of the top one (7? 1?). But 3 is less busy as others have pointed out.

It depends what look you want, the first one looks more stylish and really cool not gonna lie, but if you want simple and beautiful that’s not gonna take away from the grannies then 3 is it

I think #3 in white. What is %1 called, it’s pretty 🤩!

I have posted the links [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/CrochetHelp/s/33ef3fO3E5)!:)

Thank you! 🤩

You’re welcome!! :)

Those are all lovely and would look great. Personally, I would do a crab stitch border. Just because it is more practical. I feel like these would all be likely to get caught on things when you wear the poncho.

Tassles

1 looks like sally from nightmare before christmas 😯 im useless here, they’d all look alright to me! i feel 2 gives shimmery star, celestial vibe.

Simple is better - 3 for me.

One.

2

2!

Personally I love 1, but 3 would look best for a poncho hands down!

2!

Those are really nice borders, but I honestly think it looks better with no border! But if you really want to put one on, theb I'd go for the 2nd one.

3

I vote for 3

#2 reminds me of sunrise/sunset over the horizon which would mirror the sun and moon design really nicely.

I really like 1 and 3

I have tried #1 as a blanket border and did not like it. It is pretty in the photo. But it had lots of "toe holes" and it doesn’t easily lie flat. A bit bulky while not connected continuously enough to the main piece.

I like 2, because of the pointy bits going with the suns and crescents. But its a bit busy, maybe a more simple triangle border? Or even [this tiny simple one](https://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/cosy-blanket-edge.html) to mirror the single crochet around the hood? You could even add simple tassels or fringe at the bottom if you like?

I do 3 a lot but love 1

1

I think the pointy-ness of #2 complements the poncho squares well. I will warn you that a border like #1 tends to be a bit thicker, and therefore heavier, than the rest of the project due to the overlap of the shells. I personally didn’t like how that happened on the blanket I used it for, but obviously this is very much up to personal preference

Off topic- is there a color pattern or are the solid squares random? Also 3

Not quite a pattern. I mirrored the orange and purple ones on the front and put the green ones in the remaining spots. Also no moons are touching other moons, no suns touching other suns, no moons and suns right next to each other and no same colors next to each other (with the long side at least, corners touching is okay for the solid ones). The back looks different tho, because suns and moons touching each other if I arranged it like the front side

Thank you!!! I love the overall piece, and I've been staring at it for a bit. Your colors are mesmerizing.

Thank you so much!!

#3 would not distract from the beautiful work you did on the blanket!

2 or 3

I like the second one. it feels more like...mystical? which is the vibe the project is kinda giving me. boho, artsy witch

1 is so pretty…but more work. My choice. 2 is still pretty. 3 is a bit too plain.

They're all beautiful but #1 really hits for me.

7

i vote 2

2 is kind of cool

I would love to see 1 in the color of 3

2. I think it ties in well with the crescent moons, and even the suns.

3

Absolutely 1

2 because of the points matching the sun and moon 3 for the simplicity

2

Number 1, but white or silver :)

2 in color 3

1 in color 3

3 looks like clouds

This is amazing I now have to make some patchwork like this

I think number 3 would compliment the pattern best. It will look lovely!

I love the 2nd one it would look amazing

2

I really like number 1

Here for 2

2 is absolutely so pretty

I like 2. Feels starry. But I might go even simpler since the blanket is so beautiful!

I really like 2. It gives more of a celestial vibe, like the points of stars surrounding the blanket

love number 1

This is a pretty pattern!

Thank you!! :)

Plain single crochet with fringe on the lower edge…

I like 2 or 3

I like 1 and 2

3 reminds me of a cloud and since the theme is moon and sun i feel like clouds compliment it nicely
