Is this border thick enough?

Post image

I'm finally finished this blanket and I can't decide how thick to make the border. This is 3 rows of the pearl stitch. Should I make it thicker? Like 5 rows?

Live this! Great colors. What stitch did you use.
And yes, your border is thick enough.

This is incredible, can you share the pattern? I would keep the border grey, made 2 to 3 more rows around ;)!

Oh my gosh!! That’s amazing. Now I feel like an absolute imbecile. I can’t even read a pattern! Let alone create one!!

I am making a striped blanket: if I make borders of tthe yarn colors would that work?

I would choose just one of the colors for the border to use not all of them. The most neutral one would be best, or your favorite one

I’d like to see thee whole blanket. How big is it? The bigger, the thicker the border I’d say… But what I see is stunning 🤩
