I bought some flannel to make baby blankets but don’t know what edgings I could use other than crochet. Any ideas? Thanks

Start with a small row of hand sewn blanket stitch around the edges with the yarn you will put the crocheted edging onto and then use these stitches like a base chain. If your crochet hook is sharp enough, or you have a sewing awl, you can also pierce the fabric and simply crochet through it.
Here is a link to a tutorial on how to make a blanket stitch. These are good for most kinds of blankets, they’re very common and simple. Good luck!

Hello,
You could always use any crochet edgings for the blanket. With a steel hook you could directly make the stitches on the blanket and go all around doing a sc and 3 to 4 chains and then again a sc at equal distance. Then use the chain loops to start your lace edgings.
Other than crochet edging, you can use any pretty lace to stitch on to the blanket edge. You can edge the blankets with pretty printed bias bindings. If these are not easily available you can make your own with either nursery prints or polka dots. Add a ruffle of polka dotted cotton material. It makes the blanket look real special.
Hope this is useful.

On “Sewing with Nancy” (LPB) , I saw on her show where she put a surger stitch on the edge of the fabric and crocheted on the serged part. I also saw on the same show where there was crochet with a serger, they called it “Serger Crochet”. It was interesting. This would be a type of machine crochet.
