A quick and easy way to really improve the look of your crochet
Blocking is something a lot of folks just don't do, but it's really worth the small amount of time it takes.
It squares things up, opens patterns to be seen better and just makes everything look so much better.
There are loads of ways to do it - this is my cheating way.

You Will Need
-
Step 1Get your hands on a foam mat of some description - these were old kids mats that I've marked out a 6", 8" & 12" square on.
-
Step 2Start by pinning your square by the corners only
-
Step 3Then place lots of pins along the sides - angled as pictured.
-
Step 4Shoot the crochet with steam from your iron, then hover the hot iron over the work for a short time. Take care not to touch the pin head or your yarn.
-
Step 5Remove the pins and voila! Neat, straight crochet.
