blanket making

Make a cozy Blanket!

Materials Needed:

  • Fleece - Choose a print and a contracting or matching solid of the same size.

  • Scissors

Instructions:

  • Line up your two pieces of fabric

  • Trim to the same size if needed

  • Cut out a 5-inch square from each of the four corners

  • Cut fringe on all four sides of the blanket. Cut through both layers of fabric at the same time. Fringe pieces should be a little wider than the width of your finger. Cut in from the edge 5 inches.

  • Begin tying knots! Leaving your blanket laying flat on the surface, with all fringes lined up. Start tying from the left and work right, going around the blanket.

  • Continue around the blanket. Once you are tied all the fringes together on all four sides of the blanket, you are finished!

Extra Tip!

You can use the same directions to make pillows for the pups! If you have a 12-inch pillow form, cut two pieces of fabric together that are 24-inch square. Tie three sides, insert the pillow form and then finish tying the 4th side. You have now made a complete bedding set!
