How to Crochet
- Begin
by cutting the fabric around your blanket. Leave 1/4 inch from the holes
to the edge of your blanket. Cut only about 12 to 16 inches at a time so
that it will not fray.
- Make
a slipknot in your #10 thread.
- Place
your #5 metal needle in the loop of your thread.
- * * * Put hook through hole on the blanket.
- Yarn
over and pull thread through the hole.
- Yarn
over and pull through both loops on your hook.
