Fan Edging on a Baby Blanket

This fan-fold edging is an extremely easy way to finish off a blanket's edging.

Many of my readers have wondered how to make the baby blanket with the fan edging.

So, I thought that I would make a little movie to show how it was done.

After all, a picture (movie) is worth a thousand words of explanation!

And, a video shows the process better than still pictures.

At least that’s what I think . . .

I have a wonderful friend who is expecting her first baby and I was invited to a shower for her. I decided to make her a baby blanket with the fan-edging.

You’ve heard the expression ‘killing two birds with one stone.’

Well, I have two birds (purposes) here — make a gift and make a little movie.

I dug out my 30 year old Kenmore sewing machine.

(It’s as creaky as my knees as you can hear in the movie clip.)

My cameraman (husband) was trying different things with the camera attempting to get close up views. Some of the filming was fuzzy.

Rats!

While I might not get an academy award for best filming, at least you will be able to get a better idea of how to do the fan edging. It’s super easy to make. I hope this helps.

This fan-fold edging is an extremely easy way to finish off a baby blanket's edging. Make 4" cuts 4 inches apart, fold like a fan, and zig-zag in the center.
