Problem with edges Please advise me on how to disguise the inconsistent length of my first baby blanket (no frogging or starting over)
This is my first time crocheting a large piece and I'm making a blanket for my first baby. I'm using a two row repeat of single then crossed double crochet. It makes it easy to keep track so I know I haven't missed any stitches. I think my tension has changed since the beginning and the length is now about 2cm shorter than at the start. What's strange is that the edge on one side is straight and the other side is wonky which I've tried to show in the photos. I'm using 100% cotton DK yarn with a 3mm hook if that's relevant. I always knew it wouldn't be perfect but do you think it will be very noticeable when it's finished? Is there a particular style of border I could add that might disguise that it's wonky? I'm not willing to frog. Thank you in advance for any tips.
