Welcome to the the border section of Homeward Bound Mosaic Blanket CAL! To finish off this blanket, we will be using an envelope border blanket edging. This type of edging creates a polished finish that hides those pesky yarn tails and gives your project a clean, professional look. This clever technique neatly encloses the edges of your blanket, securing any loose ends and adding a smooth, double-layered border that complements the intricate mosaic design. You can find the free pattern below for use for the blanket in this CAL or any mosaic blanket.

Yarn Used for this blanket edging:

I used Caron One Pound for the entire blanket. I used each color of the mosaic blanket in the envelope border. White, Soft Sage, Sky, Soft Gray, and Rose.
