Sew a knitted blanket together with careful stitches.

Knitting a blanket can be a challenging task, depending on its size and style. Making a knitted blanket out of smaller squares can break up the project and make it more manageable. Once you finish knitting separate squares, you can sew the knitted pieces of blanket together into one large piece. Finish this labor of love with tiny hand stitches and your homemade knitted blanket will be ready to keep you warm.

Arrange the knitted squares in the order they are to go in the blanket.

Choose two squares to sew together first. Place the two squares side by side with the edges you wish to sew together against each other.

Insert the yarn needle into the knitting of the left square through the first stitch closest to the edge at the bottom corner of the square. Pull the yarn through to leave a 3-inch-long tail.
