I would like to know if there is anyone here that would know of a video to show to attach the Tulip Bud border to the Tree of Life baby blanket? I have done it once before but do now have the instructions anymore.
I thank you all in advance.
Welcome to KH! Is this what you need?

Not exactly what I am looking for, I know that there is somewhere out there a video showing how to knit the border on the finished blanket. Bit if i can not find that instruction then I will use the one so Thank you very much.
From this article looks like only seaming border as you go or seams later.
It seems like there are lots of variations of the tree of life blanet. Do you know which pattern you used?
Is it knit or crochet?
Is it specifically a video you’re after or the pattern instructions?
This one?
I think you’re describing the ‘join as you go’ method. This is an example of a technique that can be used with other borders than garter stitch. I have assumed you’re asking about knitting.
yes, I am talking about knitting, this does help so thank you very much.
If an applied border is what you plan to do, others can be much more helpful than I can. The videos I relied on when I learned to do it aren’t showing up. If I can remember who did them I’ll see if I can get something more helpful.
I’ve knit this blanket and the nice thing about the sewn on border is that you can ease the border’s garter edge along the mostly reverse stockinette stitch blanket. You don’t want the border pulling too tightly and you don’t want it rippling. That was easier to see as I sewed in case I needed to rip back.
I started a ways along from the corner so that it was simpler to join the beginning and end of the border without the compliction of turning the corner at the same time.

I just carefully stitched it on, but I didn’t put it on until I was almost done. At first I was very disappointed in the over-all afghan, but once I blocked it, it just popped. This picture is obviously before I blocked it. I made it for my daughter. She wanted to wrap her dad in one of my afghans when he passed, so I made her this one as a replacement. She cried when I handed it to her, as she had no idea I was doing it. It was a special moment between the two of us.
