This is a brilliant idea! The Crochet Edge on Fleece Blanket Tutorial by Kali of The Friendly Red Fox is such a smart way to finish off a fleece blanket. It's really quick and you can use this technique to make a last minute gift for a baby shower or just to make a variety of baby blankets for your special baby.
——————————————
There are 5 different border patterns presented in this tutorial. The crochet edges are so pretty and they make these warm, soft blankets look so elegant.
It happens to all of us (at least I hope its not just me!). It's Friday and you have a baby shower Saturday. And you forgot until that moment. For now, on our husband-is-in-school-and-I-am-a-stay-at-home-mom budget, I need to combine our gift giving budget with my crafty stuffs budget. Luckily I found the perfect quick/reasonable price/still nice gift in this crochet edged fleece blanket! I actually have a stock of these now for all the wee babes coming into our life!
Thanks to Kali for the article inspiration and featured image.

Annette Dalton Strunk, this is a good tutorial. I think its exactly what what you are looking to do. Check it out.
My Auntie done this for years we all got one .
I absolutely love it, will try it, looks great!
So easy to do! I’ve made several and gave as gifts. Even better, put two back to back and sew them together.
Brittney make me one.

Megan Birt, Elizabeth Ball…
Yeah but who picked those colors!!!!
This is what I do, I sew stitches around the edge first then I crochet an edge onto the stitches .. I’ve done it on a few fleece baby burp cloths.I liked the way it came out
Hopefully it’s just to show us, lol! I really like the blade, I use mine quite a bit.
They couldn’t pick better patterns/color?! SHEESH

would you like for me to crochet around your blanket
I actually took it to work yesterday and gave it away. That would’ve been cool though.
this is truly the way to do this kind of project. I tried going the sharp tiny gauge crochet hook, where you jab a hole each stitch along the way, and it doesn’t work. trust me.
You can order it online…my daughter ordered one & it’s a rotary cutter
