WHAT'S NEW THIS WEEK?
If you are just joining us, you’ll need to check our Part One of the December CAL here. This week we will be finishing our blanket by crocheting the border - and then we're done!
SO LET'S GET GOING WITH PART TWO
If you are making the one color version, keep using that color for the border. If you are making the 2 color version, I recommend making the border in Color A. Alternatively, it would be fun to make the main portion of the blanket in one color, and the border in a second color - get creative, and make it your own!
Border Round 1: Ch 1, sc in 1st st, *ch 2, skip 2 sts, sc in next st; repeat from * to end of last row, work 2 more sc in last st, turning to work along the side, [ch 2, sc] 3 times for every 4 rows across to end, work 2 more sc in last st/base of 1st st of bottom of blanket, turning to work along the foundation chain, ^ch 2, skip 2 sts, sc in next st; repeat from ^ to end of foundation chain/base of blanket, work 2 more sc in last st, turning to work along the last side, [ch 2, sc] 3 times for every 4 rows across to end, work 2 more sc in same st as 1st st of the Round; join. (36 ch-2 loops on top and bottom, 70 ch-2 loops along each side = 212 ch-2 loops total)
Border Round 2: Ch 1, sc in 1st st, *ch 2, sc in next ch-2 sp, ch 2, sc in next sc; repeat from * to corner, (ch 2, sc, ch 2, sc) in center sc st of corner, ch 2, sc in next st, [ch 2, sc in next ch-2 sp] across to corner, sc in next sc st, (ch 2, sc, ch 2, sc) in center sc st of corner, ch 2^, sc in next sc st; repeat from * to ^, join and break yarn. (72 ch-2 loops on top and bottom, 71 ch-2 loops along each side = 286 ch-2 loops total)

Finishing and Weaving In
And now you have your very own Snow Capped Throw! It has been so much fun leading the December CAL here on Furls, and I hope you've enjoyed it as well. I'm a huge Furls fan, and I know you all are too, and it's been so great getting to know you all and see your projects here and in the Facebook group. Thank you all so very much for joining me for this CAL, and I hope you'll stop by Moogly sometime and say hello! Wishing you all the happiest of holidays...
