Instructions

You will need 3 yards of fleece for each blanket or a no-sew blanket-making kit from your local craft store. Gather your fleece, a ruler and scissors. To make a blanket: Cut the two pieces of fleece so that they are approximately 1.5 yard squares.   Lay one square on top of the other so they completely overlap and so that the brighter-colored sides are facing out. Cutting through both layers, cut a 5-inch square out of each corner, and discard them. Cut slits 5 inches long by approximately 1 inch wide along all four sides. Make the cuts as even as you can. This will look like fringe. Tie individual fringes together, top layer fringe to bottom layer fringe, using double knots.
