FREE: DIY Tied Fleece Blanket

The listing, DIY Tied Fleece Blanket has ended.

1. Begin the tied fleece blanket by cutting two rectangles of the same size, from the solid color fleece and the patterned fleece. For the baby blanket above, the length was 55 iches by 45 inches (or 1.5 yards by 1.25 yards).

2. Place the two pieces of fleece on top of one another, with the right sides facing out. Using the ruler, measure off 2 inch marks along each side of the rectangle. Cut slits at each 2 inch mark, cutting up 8 inches in. Make sure you cut through both pieces of fleece. This creates the tassels. At the four corners, you will cut out a square you will not need,

2. To create the tassels, and to hold the two pieces of fleece together, you will make knots. To properly make the knot so they are all uniform, do the following technique: Hold both pieces of fleece together, and wrap them around your hand, beginning to form a knot (first photo below). Then bring the end of the fleece through the knot (second photo), then push the knot up as you tighten in, so it lies close to where the cuts begin.
3. Continue on tying all the tassels, to create a knotted border
