Introduction
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.
What you need
Step 1
How To Repair a Hole in a Crochet Blanket
- Carefully unpick any torn or damaged stitches that have become separated from the main body of the blanket.
- Take your time while separating the strands. Pulling too hard may cause additional damage to the blanket.

Step 2
- Secure any loose or dangling stitches by threading the bottom loops with stitch markers and clasping them closed.
- This will keep the stitches from accidentally unraveling and making the hole larger.

Step 3
- 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.

Step 4
- Follow the original stitch pattern, starting at the bottom row and working from right to left.
- This example uses a three double-crochet cluster, also known as a granny cluster.
- When you’re finished with a row, join with a slip knot and fasten off. Start the next row and repeat Steps 3 and 4.

Step 5
- When you reach the last row, take out the stitch markers in the top row of stitches.
- Insert your hook through the bottom loops of the stitch. Yarn over and pull through all of the loops on your hook.
- This attaches the top row of existing stitches to your new stitches below.
- Repeat for the rest of the row.
