How to start if you aren't going all the way around
 | (1) This is a technique I use when I'm doing just a little bit of blanket stitch, such as the bottom edge of this jellyfish. Place the wrong-sides of the felt layers together. Take your knotted floss and go from the inside of the front layer through to the outside. The knot should be sandwiched between the two layers with your floss coming out of the front layer. |
 | (2) Insert your needle in the back piece of felt so the tip comes out between the pieces of felt at the top (see next image for reference). If you are stitching the edging on a single piece of felt, put your needle through the starting knot in this stage. |
 | (3) Pull the floss through to tighten stitch. The thread should be coming out from between the felt layers to the left of the stitch. |
 | (4) Put your needle under the first stitch on from right to left. |
 | (5) Pull the needle through. There is now a loop around the top of the first stitch. |
 | (6) Continue blanket stitch according to instructions above (step 2). When you start the blanket stitch this way, the first stitch stays vertical. |
Try it ♥ Good Luck !
