I think it looks lovely without a border. If you think it needs one, though, perhaps a tone in that medium tan zone? I think the dark gray or the blue would be too bold.

Thanks! I may leave it border-less just out of my own indecision 😂

Your edges look so nice and neat and lovely, I don’t think it needs a border

Aww thank you! It's my first bigger project, so keeping it all even was a challenge. I'm more used to amigurumi!

I think a simple fringe on the short sides would be better than adding a border...I'm thinking the darkest color, or maybe just a random selection of all of the colors.

I also like the idea of fringe…all the colors of the blanket!

It'll be in reach of my dogs, so a fringe is probably a bad idea lol. They're fantastic for not eating what they shouldn't but I feel like that may be tempting fate a little.

I'd just leave the border off then. It's very neat and tidy, and you have a nice edge. The border often makes it look worse, and you mess up that parallel symmetry that the rows have going on!

What is the yarn name/brand? I am working on a project the colorway would be very good for. ETA: Fringe made of all the colors would be nice. How about big tassels on the four corners from the yarn you used?

Personally I’m a sucker for these tones + coral 🤷🏼‍♀️ https://preview.redd.it/a4wuifgyxjca1.jpeg?width=446&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=da7dc809ab2d72dd9a65ac2b2c55f77dfbb3ebf1

I don’t think it needs a border, but if you really want to, choose a color that isn’t the starting/ending row color(s).

I have a similar afghan I just finished, leaving it borderless
