blanket stitches
Looped border seams
Blanket stitches are a sewing technique where thread loops along the edge of fabric, creating a decorative border that also prevents fraying.
Each stitch forms a small perpendicular bar connected by thread running along the edge: She finished the fleece throw with blanket stitches in contrasting yarn.
The name comes from traditional use on wool blankets.
