something more fancypants than blanet stitch

[onebatmother]

.. to edge my baby blanket, anyone?

I'm sure I've seen somehting a little cross-stitch-like before but can't find it in books or on web.

Thanks if you can help.

There's herringbone stitch but that wouldn't wrap round the edge of the fleece like blanket stitch - it would just be decorative

Thanks dizzy, I thought about doing herringbone away from the edge a little, just to cover the cut-edge. But not sure whether that would look odd. I'm sure I've seen a variation on blanket stitch somewhere.. gah.

I googled and found a lovely variation which is group of 3 blanket stitches fanned out - very pretty
