This is a simple guide for people with little or no sewing experience.

Put the needle through the blanket, right below the hole picking up just a little bit of the fabric and do not pull the thread all the way through.

On the last you pull, do not pull all the way for it creates a loop. Put your needle through the loop, pull the thread all the way and this creates a secure knot.

Pick one side of the hole and go through to the other side while picking up fabric from the other side and pull our thread through all the way.

The last thread you pull through, do not pull all the way but instead put your need through the loop it creates and create a secure knot. Repeat this step about 2-3 more times threading through the same hole to create an extra secure knot.
