BLANKET MAKING GUIDELINES


​Our mission is simple: to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need. We do this by giving them gifts of new, handmade blankets, quilts and afghans, lovingly created for Project Linus by volunteer "blanketeers." 

While the sentiment is appreciated, we ask that you do not donate store bought blankets as we are unable to distribute them.

Minimum Size:

Newborns
30" x 30" (preemies)
​larger is better! 36" x 36"
Infants/Toddlers
35" x 45"
Early School Age
45" x 55"
All sizes beyond these measurements are needed, up to Teenagers!
48" x 72"
These are just size guidelines, whatever you make will be distributed to children!
Please see our Tips for Making a Blanket for requirements of various types of blankets.

Here are additional links we have to information on the following topics:
  •      Instructions & Resources for Blankets, which include numerous patterns and instructions for No-sew fleece blankets 
  •      Service Project Credit

All blankets should be laundered, after completed, in scent free laundry products.
