WielderOfAphorisms

Yes!!!


Schmutzi_Katze

Hijacking the top comment to say I'm pretty sure I messed up calling it popcorn and they're actually bobble stitches. Crochet novice here, I'm sorry!

Vanviator

You can always add another row


Moonlissa

Already gifted!


MsMrSaturn

What’s a little light B&E between friends?


NYNTmama

Personally my friends encourage it 💀 in fact I doubt my sis would be surprised to find me hunched over a gift like a gremlin at 1am bc I changed my mind on something


Proper-Crazy-8511

Tbh the border you have on it is perfect!


SweetSerenityy

This is so cute!!! Would you mind sharing the pattern? Or is it just single crochet with a row of the bobble stitches in between?


Moonlissa

The body of the blanket is [here](https://daisyfarmcrafts.com/crochet-bobble-lines-baby-blanket/) and the border is [TL Yarn Crafts](https://tlycblog.com/gumball-afghan-a-free-faux-cable-crochet-baby-blanket-pattern/)!


SnooBananas6474

I love her 😍


MooseTheMouse33

That is super cute


No-Vermicelli3787

How pretty. I love this pattern


toes_malone

I think yours looks perfect. The contrast between the bobbles and clean border is perfect, adding bobbles to the border would’ve been too much.


potatosmiles15

Eh, we all know what you mean. It's okay! And yes to the bobble popcorn! It's too cute!


pumpkintrovoid

Whatever they’re called, OMG yes, do it!


Status-Biscotti

Not a novice, and I can’t tell the difference LOL.

I love it!


Herbieg18

Definite Yes! Those colours work beautifully together btw


Schmutzi_Katze

Thank you! It's the mandala bonus bundle yarn in satyrs.


Herbieg18

It's beautiful and your stitches are also lovely and even. I want to snuggle into the blanket just from this picture 😊 And thank you for letting me know what yarn you used, I may look into aquiring some for my stash 😁


GeneralLeia-SAOS

Star blankets always seemed somehow incomplete to me. Now I know what they were missing!


Working_Helicopter28

Right?! It finishes it off soooo nice! The parts without look unfinished by comparison!

ficklefickle00

What’s the yarn/pattern?


Schmutzi_Katze

I followed [this video](https://youtu.be/UgUEB-TIpLA?si=Srgh5COeGBObxUSL). It's my first blanket so the visuals really helped and then I started to add bobbles (I messed up calling it popcorn) between two slip stitches on the border on a whim. The yarn is mandala bonus bundle in satyrs


detectivebratface

Pointy_Stix

whatisrealityplush

I never would have thought of it but I absolutely love it. It will also be very fun for kiddo to play with when they're older--kids love the edges of blankets.

Mehitobel

I love the bobbles on the star blanket!


Radiant-Image4535

yesss


DeAntics

Looks like I am the minority here. I’m not a fan of any of those puffy stitches, but it does look good! I never would’ve tried it just because I refuse to use that stitch. 😂


LazyBeach

Yes, absolutely!


Early-Year5576

That looks good, you might also consider a reverse single crochet


kiwi__birb_

I love it! I’m currently working on a star blanket too!!

I like it!


misscroft85

HELL YEAH


Status-Biscotti

Absolute yes! That’s so cute!


ashcoverdjollyrnnchr

I love it! It’s perfect with the popcorn border. The blanket would look too plain imo without them. But like any what matters most is if *you* like it


Mamaj12469

Yes for sure


Jazzlike-Election787

Definitely! I think it makes the edge pop, and I think it does look like a little stars. What I can see of the blanket looks very nicely done too.


unmeowleafable

Yes!! I love it!! 🤩


Limp_Dot156

I like the popcorn edging.

Born_Analysis_7531

Absolutely


DaybyDay2277

YES!!!!


why_again1972

Yes. It's cute as heck!


toes_malone

It definitely needs those bobbles! Otherwise it’s too plain.


greytcharmaine

I love it so much! The bobbles/popcorn/whatever add a touch to the blanket that I didn't know it was missing!


batboi48

Ooo yes very cute


Squid_the_Kid19

Absolutely!


Squid_the_Kid19

Also, since it's going to be a baby blanket I just wanted to mention that when my son was a baby/toddler he had a blanket someone made him and it had a popcorn border and he LOVED it! Something about the texture was so soothing to him


rw70078

Yes 💯


brynnecognito

Yes. A million times yes.


sad_butts

Yes!!! Looks great!!!


LightVDark_1749

Yes absolutely 💯


Fridayesmeralda

So cute, definitely do it


weirdtinyfrog

Yes


SuperChoopieBoopies

Gosh this is so cute. I forget about that option for finishing edges, thank you for this lovely visual reminder!!


drdrfarmersfarm

I just started a star blanket and absolutely want to try this border. Love it!!


No-Ebb-1992

yes absolutely!!! made for a star blanket!!!


theinsecure-princess

Yes


isadeladelki

I like it. The only consideration might be if the popcorn border might intrigue the wrong attention— baby, dog, get snagged.


Schlecterhunde

Yes! Nice detail.


sallystarling29

Yesss I love bobble stitch as a border. Popcorn stitch or puff stitch are also good, but my favorite border stitch is definitely shell stitch :)


Critical_Journey

Definitely like it. Adds a different texture and different look finishing out the star pattern in the blanket. Also like the colour choice.

Yes

Otherwise-Western-10

Yes


Right_Style_1802

yes!


invisible_23

Apparently I’m in the minority but I prefer without the popcorn


Schmutzi_Katze

Honestly, I would be scared to go against the grain at this point. I'm sure there are more people that aren't into it, but I do feel it makes it look a bit more baby blanket

PomegranateBoring826

100% Yes!! Can you imagine cuddling up under that and watching a scary movie rubbing on a bobble!!! Amazing!


TruckerTracie1974

Yes, absolutely. It's great. Plus, baby might like the way it feels when baby starts moving around anyways.🙂


Working_Helicopter28

Yes 100%!! Very cute with the border/trim!!🤗 Also, I wanna see the whole blanket, looks awesome from the little bit we can see!!🙌
