Equipment

  • 1 pair of fabric scissors or a rotary cutter
  • 1 cutting matt optional
  • pins with large heads
  • ruler

Materials

  • 2 pieces of fleece fabric cut to matching size

Instructions

  • Lay the two fleece pieces together, wrong sides facing in, and cut both layers to your desired blanket size.
  • Trim the selvedge edges off the sides.
  • Pin the layers together about 5 to 6 inches in from the edge.
  • Cut a square from each of the 4 corners, matching the length you want your fringe.
  • Cut fringe strips about 1 to 1½ inches wide around all four sides.
  • Remove the pins.
  • Tie each matching pair of strips into a knot, doubling the knot if the blanket will be washed often.
  • For baby blankets, sew a seam just inside the fringe before tying for extra durability.
