Even the most well-made crochet blanket can start to look a little shabby after years of love and use. It's not uncommon for the yarn loops on a crochet project to unravel over time and a hole starts to form. Unless your blanket is literally hanging on by a thread, don’t throw it away yet! This guide will walk you through how to repair a hole in a crochet blanket so that it looks good as new.
Note: The exact repair method will depend on the construction of the blanket and the stitch pattern used. This guide works best for projects worked in three double-crochet clusters, also known as a granny stitch.
After you’ve secured all of the loose stitches, it's time to fill in the hole. Join your new yarn to the first stitch on the bottom row.
If you can’t locate the exact yarn used in the blanket, try your best to match the color, material, and weight of the original yarn as closely as possible.
