blanket stitch
Fabric border technique
A blanket stitch is a hand-sewing stitch used to finish raw edges, typically on blankets or felt.
The needle passes through the fabric, then loops around the thread before pulling tight, creating a series of connected stitches along the edge: She bordered the baby blanket with a blanket stitch in contrasting yarn.
