There are some crochet projects that absolutely need a fabric backing. Sometimes backing a crochet blanket simply offers better looks. There are different reasons why we choose to sew a fabric to a crochet piece.Not knowing how to do this it’s frustrating. So, how can you do it in such a way that it’s easy and looks great?

Ok I’ll make the blankets @[678707676:2048:Shawna Marie $#%&[email protected]*] and you can sew a lining on 😉

That’s cool. If you use flannel it would make a super warm winter blanket
Right. I saved the link, I want to try this.
Have often wondered about how to do this. Thank you for the information.
Welcome Doris! 😉
Awesome. I was day dreaming about this last night, how to put fabric on a crochet blanket
@ Debbie McDonald… here is something new we can try.
Is this what I need to know how to do? Judy O’Keefe Glidewell
Would never do this

I don’t understand the reasoning behind this.
I had never thought about doing this, but I can see that it would be a good idea on a baby afghan that has an open pattern. It would help keep the baby from getting tangled in the yarn.
Great info.Thanks.

we quilted the back our the king-sized crocheted afghan that I made a couple of years ago. I love it.
I do this all the time to mine and it keeps the baby much warmer.
Good to know
Living in Texas, backing an afghan seems a bit redundant. I wish the article had explored why an afghan should be backed.
Way cute
I think it takes away from the crochet blanket. What’s the point really. I mean crochet blankets are pretty warm already.
Never thought to do this. Great idea
Not everyone lives in Texas. Some crochet patterns have a lot of holes like in the example. So backing it just makes it a warmer afghan to snuggle up in. Very nice during winter months.
I do a lot of granny squares, and never had an issue with warmth. We do get an occasional cold day or three. I get the extra warmth thing, but there has to be other reasons. I, personally, think a backing ruins the look of the afghan. I don’t want to see the back of the fabric peeking through the pattern on an afghan.
I love this idea! I’ve been wanting to do this on an afghan I’m going to make for my mother-in-law. I feel like this gives me the freedom to use a very pretty pattern that isn’t very solid (has holes) yet with a backing will still be nice and warm.
I did this for my girl’s so much warmer.
neat idea
Cute but sure would have picked a better matching back.
Just as I was getting ready to sell my sewing machine, I see this, I think I might have to try this!!
