You can use the same color as the rest of your blanket or a contrasting color. It would best to use the same weight of yarn, however. If you do end up using a different weight of yarn than the rest of your project, make sure that you get the matching crochet hook.


This method will teach you how to add a crochet ruffle to a crochet blanket. You may be able to use it on a knit blanket as well.
 Choose an edge to start with on your blanket. Poke your crochet hook through the first stitch on that edge. Catch a loop of yarn, then pull it back through the stitch., Keep a hold on the tail as you work, or you will accidentally pull your ruffle off of your work., This seems like a lot of stitches, especially for a single edge stitch. These double crochets will flare out eventually, however, resulting in a ruffle., You are doing three this time around because the initial chain counted as a double crochet., Do three double crochets in each stitch. Stop when you are one stitch away the corner., There are two ways that you can do this. The simplest way is to simply keep going, and do three double crochets in the stitch to the left of the corner, and three more double crochets in the stitch to the right of the corner. Alternatively, you can do six double crochets in the gap just under the corner., When you are back to where you started, join your last double crochet to the first chain with a slip stitch., Cut the yarn down, then pull the tail back through the loop. Gently tug on the tail to tighten the knot, then weave the tail back into your work using a yarn needle.
