Blanket Long Fringe Tutorial

Hug Me Chevron Blanket crochet pattern

Most crochet patterns which call for fringe typically just add fringe to the ends of the project.  That's how I've designed with fringe in the past but I wanted something different for the Hug Me Chevron Blanket crochet pattern.  
​
I thought it would be fun to have a woven or stitch look with the fringe popping in and out of the blanket with a pretty length at the end.  My daughter fell in love with this style and it was honestly SO easy to do.  You could do it to any pattern that has a decent hole in the stitch work which will allow you to pull the long strand through.  

The fun part about this is that if you wanted a slightly different look, you could cut the strands longer, work them into a braid and pull the braided yarn through the length of the blanket.  How fun could that be in other designs???!!!

You could work a solid color blanket and then use a rainbow assortment of color and weave those through an open stitch to give a pop of color to your work.  Hmmm, that actually would be a fun way to bring new life to a plain blanket.  

What ever your creativeness brings out, you can do it!  I've created a tutorial below to show you the process I used to work the fringe through my Hug Me Chevron Blanket crochet pattern.  I hope you find it useful and have fun with your creations!
