What little kid wouldn’t love to have a blanket with shark teeth for the border? The blanket tiles are easy to crochet and make a soothing, dense fabric. The edging is worked twice, once in the front loops of the blanket’s border and once in the back loops, with the two rows of toothy edging offset by half a repeat.
