Double Sided No Sew Fleece Blanket

How to Make a Double Sided Tied Fleece Blanket



Making this fleece blanket with tied ends is very easy, no sewing required! You will need 2 pieces of fleece (contrasting colors looks better), about 2 ½  yards each (for an adult size (7 ½ feet long to cover their toes!, 2 yards for youth size and 1 ½ yard for a baby/toddler size), scissors (or a rotary cutter),  ruler and tailor’s chalk.

Lay the two pieces of fleece wrong sides together and pin, you don’t want the fabrics shifting when you are cutting. CUT THE SELVAGES OFF. Trim all around the edges if needed.

With your ruler and chalk, mark a 3 inches line all around



Cut out a 3 inches square from all 4 corners.


Now cut out fringes on both fabrics at once, about 3 inches deep all the way around the fabric.


Cut a small slit on each pair of fringe, make sure not to cut too much or the pieces will come apart.


Push the fringes up & pull down inside, through the slit.



Continue tying all the way around the fabric until your blanket is complete!


If this is a large blanket add some embellishments around the center  to secure the two parts together and avoid bunching when washed. 

Shown here on a different blanket made with two contrasting colors and the letters were added on both sides.



NOTE:  If making a one sided blanket you will tie two fringes together into double knots, this helps them to say together after washing).
