I want to start buying products without them.
Try a single croichet on the first two rows of your pattern next time and that will help.
Is the border added after the blanket is completedIf so it sounds like the border is worked too tight i.e.with too few stitches.
Acrylic doesn't block too well so it seems to me that the gauge is too tight around the edgingIf you've added a separate edging after finishing the blanket that's probably what's making it curlTry using a larger hook that should help evening out the curly-ness.
I would start again if you use a thick crochet needle this will make the blanket look more chunkyStart off as normal I usually start with a small circle and work out from it try to keep it fairly tight as if it is too loose it will not stand up to much usageAs for the edging I would put fringing around the edges of the blanket as I think it looks betterHope this has helpedYou could try to google crochet websites for other tips.
i buy L.A colors,they are cruelty free )
