Blanket Stitch
The blanket stitch was given its name because it was used to hold down the edge of a blanket. Often it is confused with the button hole stitch. When you are pulling the sting through pull the thread in the same direction that you are stitching. You can use this stitch to edge blankets, afghans and any edge that need protecting or to beautify it in some way. When joining the thread you should do so in such a manner as to maintain the same smooth appearance.
