Comments on How to Make a Polar Fleece Blanket

I have been using flannel to line my throws, baby blankets, etc. The flannel makes the blanket warm and the blanket holds up better to washing as opposed to fiber fill.

Take any size piece of fleece and cut 4 inch slits every four inches all around the fabric. Make sure that you cut out 4 inch squares at the corners. You now have 4 inch squares all the way around the blanket. In the center of each four inch square you take coordinating pieces of embroidery floss and thread it in and out (like a quilters stitch) from outside edge all the way up the full 4 inches. Then pull the embroidery floss tight, so that the result is a 4 inch bow. Do that all the way around and wah-la, you have a bowtie blanket.

I learned how to make a blanket like this but a little different. You get to equally sized peices of fleece, then cut one peice 4 inces smaller along all the sides. Next you take the bigger peice and cut 4 by 4 ince squares out of the corners. After that you cut about 1 in. pieces up 4 in. on eace side making sure there is an even number. The on the smaller piece make small slits (one for each two slits). Then put one strip through the slit, then take the one next to it and tie those two into a knot. Do that for all the edges, and your blanket is done!
