This is a timely idea! I love the combination of fabric and crochet, it's pretty cool. I’ve never seen a blanket like that before. Amazed by the creativity some people have. This Kaffe Fusion blanket by Heidi Isaksen-Loxton made by joining beautiful fabrics with soft crochet is such a great idea! The possibilities are endless!

I have never seen a blanket, but we used to crochet on the edges of pillow slips. There were patterns for a girl in a long gown, much like the ones that my mother baked and decorated cakes in those days.

Very interesting ~ Have never seen this done on a blanket before ~
How do I get this pattern? When I go to the link I see a picture and list of materials needed, but everything that looks like it might be a link to an actual pattern is really an advertisement. Can’t you just create a “download pattern” here button or link?
They did
Don’t see it.

Love this
Liz, the pattern is always linked to the name of the pattern which is introdused with first letter capital and followed by the name of the designer. It’s usualy in the first paragraph and , only one line under. In this article, where it says : This Kaffe Fusion blanket by Heidi Isaksen-Loxton…. please click the Kaffe Fusion link. Hope it helps!
That helped me as I was having the same problem. Thank you. 🙂
Welcome! 🙂
Love this!
I am loving this idea!

here you go Deb!
if you click on the link above the pic it will take you to the pattern. You have to click on the kaffie fusion that is a different color in the first paragraph.
Was doing that for 57 years
I remember crocheted edges on handkerchiefs; a long time ago. The blanket is an interesting idea.
I have a baby quilt I’m quilt-tying together (forgot correct term for that method); am planning to crochet the edges, instead of putting a fabric binding on it.
Thanks Linda C. Jones! 🙂
I never thought to turn that skill into a blanket, so pretty
can’t wait to try this
I have made this it looks great
how do you get the holes in the fabric Kathleen Chmura??
I always just used the tip of the hook, cuz I used metal hooks and they were quite pointy. In a pinch you could use the tip of the small embroidery scissors to poke a n entry hole. but that’s a lot of work

Carrie Ann Macklin
Very interesting idea.
I’m thinking I might turn one of grandma’s blouses into a throw doing this ❤
Look forward to seeing it Carrie.
Martha Worthley check this out.
Brilliant idee!!
I love this, combining fabric and needlework..
They used to crochet on the edges of pillowcases all the time.
I hope to have time to make this…. One day !!!
This POST really SUCKS!! TOO many links to click on and NO information!!
Love this!
It is called Fusion quilt. It is on my bucket list using my cotton blouses. IT is time consuming since you nees to prepare the centers first and then crochet together.
Very good sample
I looked for more of a how two on how she did this and could not find it, can some one point me in the right direction for crochet on the edges of fabric as I think this might be good for some pillow shams I am going to make
