Edging to add to a baby boy blanket?

Question

I am making a baby blanket out of Lion Brand Baby Soft for my cousin's unborn baby boy. I am using cream and I want to make a border around the piece in pistachio. I am a pretty basic crocheter and I would like to keep it simple anyway. All the patterns I find for edges are really girly and I was wondering if anyone had a more masculine edge that would work for a baby blanket.

There are many to choose from.

Answer 2

Here is a link for crocheted edgings. Hope you find one you like here.

Answer 3

I would either just add knotted tied fringe on 2 edges, or just do a plain double or single crochet around the edges with the different color.  See pictures below.

Answer 4

I don't recommend fringe on a baby blanket.  It is too easy to come apart if baby happens to chew on it, and gets it stuck in their throat.  I would suggest a simple single or double crochet edging instead.
