How to Mend a Treasured Crochet Piece - by ARNE & CARLOS

In this tutorial, we share our very first attempt at repairing a vintage crocheted blanket. Rather than hiding the repair, we embrace visible mending, using a crochet hook and matching yarn to recreate the original stitches and give this beautiful handmade piece a new lease on life. This isn't a polished restoration—it's a real-time experiment! You'll see our thought process, a few mistakes, and how we gradually figure out a technique that works. By the end, we're happy to report that this heirloom blanket can indeed be saved.
