Blanket stitch

When done by hand, it is sometimes considered a crochet stitch, used to join pieces together to make a blanket or other larger item.

It is used in sewing leather pieces together, as traditionally done by indigenous American cultures,[2] and even for weaving basket rims.

The defining characteristic of the crochet machine is its ability to sew with yarn and stitch thick goods with a consistent overlock edge.

From 1877 to 1925 the machine evolved dramatically, and consequently so did the capacity of manufacturers to produce goods with the whip stitch.

There are many styles of production blanket stitching, including rolled, narrow, with elastic, and traditional (see photos below).
