single-layer no-sew fleece blanket

Materials

  • Fleece (trim selvage edges to be straight)

    • Infant throw= 1 yard

    • Child throw= 1 1/2 yards

    • Adult throw= 2 yards

  • Sharp scissors

  • Masking tape

  • Ruler or yardstick

Instructions

  • Cut a 4" square out of each corner. 

    • Tip: measure the first square with a ruler and use that square as a pattern to measure out the other three corners.

  • Use the ruler to place masking tape in a strip along each edge, 4” from the edge

  • Use a pen to measure 1” marks along that strip of tape - these marks will show you where to cut the edges.

  • Cut all four edges up to the tape to make 1" strips. 

Watching the first 6 minutes of the first video below will show you the technique described above; then watch the second video to see an easier way to finish the edges.
