These precious fleece blankets will
be all the sweeter with your loving touch. The simple blanket stitch is used to
finish these treasures for newborn babies born to underprivileged moms. You
begin with fabric and thread and end with a cherished token of love and warmth.
Infant Fleece Blanket Instructions-How to Make a Blanket Stitch
To make the blanket stitch, working from LEFT to
RIGHT, after securing thread at point A (outer edge), insert at point B (use
about half an inch spacing and half an inch height), then with thread below the
needle, come out at point C directly below. Continue in this manner, noting that point C
now becomes point A for the next stitch. Be sure to keep the spacing even between
stitches. Pull snug, but not tight!
