Finishing and Blocking

Knit blocked border

A knit border after blocking looks much smoother.

Once your border is worked to the length you like, bind off as you normally would. You'll notice when you take the work off the needles that it may not look very nice; it will probably be really rounded in the corners and maybe a bit puckery, especially if you bound off too tightly.

Blocking will help tremendously in making your corners a bit more square and giving the project the nice finished look you're going for.
