How
to Crochet
- Begin by cutting
the fabric around your blanket. Leave ¼ 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.
