No Sew Fleece Blankets
Start with two complimentary pieces of fleece material that are exactly the same size. You can make your blanket pretty much any size you like up to the width of the material. You will end up with a blanket that is 8 inches shorter than the material you start with so keep that in mind.
Lay your two pieces of fleece out on a table. Using straight pins or safety pins, neatly pin the material together about eight inches in from the edges. This is to keep your blanket in place as you work.
Now trim with scissors all the way around to make sure that they match exactly and that they are perfectly square.
Now, at each corner, cut a four inch square indent into the corner. (Save your fleece pieces for future crafting!)
Now, you are going to cut a four inch long, one inch wide fringe all the way around the material. You may want to use something to measure as you go, or you can 'eye-ball' it if you trust yourself.
When you are finished, start at one corner and begin to tie the fringe of the two layers together.
Tie several fringe on one side of the corner and then several on the other side of the corner, You will end up with a perfect corner. Gently pull at the knots to smooth your work.
Once you have tied all the way around, you can remove your pins! You're all done! You have just made a blanket with no sewing! And it is the warmest, most cuddly blanket you will own!
For an adult it takes 2 ½ yards of the two colors of fleece.
For children it takes between 1 ½ to 2 yards of each color of fleece (according to how big you want the blanket)
For infants I use 1 yard of each color.
