In this DROPS video, we show how we crochet slip stitches around double crochet stitches, so that a nice thick edge is formed. To emphasise the edge and give it a little weight, we crochet this round with double thread, while the rest of the work has been crocheted with 1 thread. The slip stitches must not be crocheted too tight. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You must read a pattern with this technique to be able to follow this video properly.
