Crochet Join and Border for 7 Day Sampler Afghan

7 Day Sampler Afghan Join

Join and Border time! Today we will join the squares and add the border to our 7 Day Sampler Afghan Stitch Along.

I choose the Zig Zag Horizontal and Vertical joining method for this motif because it's fast and no sewing required!  The border is 3 rounds, using one of the textures from the squares.  If you prefer using a different stitch on the border, go for it!

When you upload your project to The Crochet Crowd Stitch Social Group or Instagram, feel free to tag me so I can see what you have crocheted.  Follow me on Instagram @ jeannestein or on Facebook.  My designs can also be saved in your Ravelry favorites by following me HERE.
