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.

    • Carefully unpick any torn or damaged stitches that have become separated from the main body of the blanket.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • 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.

Thank you for your post! This was extremely helpful as I thought I would have to discard an afghan my late mother had made after my dog decided it was his chew toy.
