How to Make a Cuddle Blanket

Make a fleece cuddle blanket for baby.

Fleece fabric does not unravel, so you can use it to make a blanket without having to finish the edges. Two pieces of fleece fabric, joined by knots along the edges, trap a pocket of air between them creating a very warm and cuddly blanket. This no-sew cuddle blanket is easy enough for a child to make.

Instructions

    • 1

      Cut two pieces of fleece the same size. The blanket will be 8 inches smaller than the fleece. Lay one piece of fabric out, right side down. Lay the other piece on top, right side up, with all the edges aligned. Pin the fabric together to keep the edges aligned.

    • 2

      Cut a 4-inch square out of each corner of the fleece sandwich. Cut 4-inch slits, 1 inch apart, around all four edges of the blanket. Cut through both layers of fabric. You will be making a 4-inch fringe of 1-inch-wide strips around the blanket.

    • 3

      Pick up one set of strips. Tie the top and bottom strips together with an overhand knot. Tie another knot to ensure the knots will not come undone.

    • 4

      Tie the strips together all around the blanket. Remove the pins before using the blanket.
