Things You'll Need:
- 2 Pieces of polar fleece, the same exact size
- Scissors
- A flat surface
-
Step 1
Purchase 2 pieces of polar fleece fabric exactly the same size but at least 54" square. 2 yards of fabric makes a good size throw blanket.
-
Step 2
Lay your fabric panels on a flat surface such as the floor or a large table. Place the outsides (usually the softest side) or the design sides of the fabric facing right-sides out. If you are using printed fleece, you should be able to see the design on each side.
-
Step 3
On each corner of the blanket, remove the corners by cutting a 5 inch square at each corner.
-
Step 4
Cut through both pieces of fabric at one time to make a 5 inch long strip about an inch wide. Cut all the way around the blanket, cutting strips on all 4 sides side. With the blanket flat on the floor, it should look like it has "fringe" on all 4 sides.
-
Step 5
Being careful not to shift the fabric or separate the cut fringe, tie each matching upper and lower strip in a knot. Do not tie so tight that the fabric bunches. Keep your knots a bit away from the fabric center, about 1/2 inch or so. Once you have tied all the fringe strips on all 4 sides, your blanket is done and ready to use or give as a gift.
