You will need:

​​Fleece Fabric  

Fleece Fabric is usually 58'' - 60'' wide
1 yd makes two 30 x 36 blankets (Square fabric then cut in half lengthwise)
1 1/4 yd or 1 1/2 yd makes one older child blanket
Note: We do not recommend using Ultra Cuddle or micro fleece fabric.

​Yardstick and rotary cutter (or scissors)

Rotary cutter works best to neatly cut fleece fringe. If using scissors, make cuts straight and even, with no frayed edges. You'll need sharp scissors!

This blanket is made in five easy steps:

Step #1: (Very Important)

Remove selvage edges from fabric and square the fabric up evenly. To square fabric, use a cutting mat, grout lines on a tile floor or any straight line surface. Fold fabric in half and trim edges until you have a perfect rectangle.

Step #2:

Step #3:

Cut a 2 - 2 1/2 inch square from each corner of the fleece. A 2 inch cut works on smaller blankets; 2 1/2 inch cut on larger blanket.

Selvages removed and fabric squared ->

Depending on the size of the square cut in the corner, cut a 2'' or 2 1/2'' long x 1'' wide fringe of strips around the fabric.

<--- 1'' wide strips cut on all sides of fabrics

<--- Square cut out of each corner. A cardboard or fabric template is a good idea.

Step #4:

Using a Fiskar 1/16th inch scrapbooking hole punch (we have found this works well but you can use cuticle scissors, etc.) make a tiny hole in the top center of each strip.

Step #5:

Feed the strip up through the back side of the hole you made and pull it to the front to create a neat and secure fringed edge.

Front of the fabric should have all tabs like these on all sides of the blanket. --->

Important: Make sure all tabs are pulled thru the holes going the in the same direction.
