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).
