I’ve been working on this blanket on and off for a bit and decided I wanted to gift it to my MIL for Mother’s Day. Well I only JUST noticed one edge is completely janky even though the other edge seems to be mostly fine. Idk what to do. I’m just exhausted and considering just putting this to the side for a while and not gifting it after all. I was/am planning to add a border but I feel like that will only exacerbate the issue. Any advice welcome 😭

I’m following a YouTube tutorial for a poncho that is basically just a rectangle that you fold in half and then slip stitch it closed up to a certain point, where you would leave a hole for the neck. Before I did the final slip stitching step, I tried it on (with stitch markers holding it closed) and noticed the neck on one side lays awkwardly. Actually, it doesn’t lay at all, which is the problem 😂 mind you this is 100% mercerized cotton that hasn’t been blocked yet. Will blocking help? Or does anyone have any advice on how to make it look not so…weird?
