How do I put a holes in a baby blanket so that I can crochet around it? Does this make sense? I made a flannel blanket, and now I would like to put a scallop crocheted edge on it. How do I make the holes..........would also like to do this on some pillowcases, but I am clueless!! (in over ways than one!! lol) Thanks in advance!
Hello PWife, When I used to add an edging on receiving blankets, I used a small steel crochet hook to make the holes needed. I suppose you could also use a large needle, which is what my friend used to do. Anyway, best of luck to you.

Hi to make the holes you can use a skip stitch blade it makes the holes evenly spaced. I think the ones Walmart has are Fiskers. Hope this helps you out. I usually use the dollar store receiving blankets and use the stitches already around the blanket to anchor my edging stitches.
I haven't made any baby blankets like that, but I do make crocheted hangers for towels. I bought a little thing(don't know what it is called)at Lowe's Hardware that looks like a short ice pick. As I am crocheting the first round, I punch a hole in the edge and make a single crochet stitch. I do this all the way across, turn and continue my pattern stitches. I hope this makes sense to you.
