Just a little tip: If you’re making this for someone who is 6’+ and they like their feet to be covered in the blanket, you gotta make it at least 2.5 yards. I made one that was 2 yards for my 6’4 boyfriend (perfect size for me but I’m 5’2) and it’s too short for him so I made him a new one that is literally nine feet long (3yds)

Very Nice, But I think I would cut only 2 inches , out of it for the fringe, because Otherwise it seems to make the blanket a lot smaller. & I made a Large one from Joanne's Fabrics I ended up Having it sewn all the way around, with no fringe at all, because I thought the person I was giving it too wouldn't want the fringe in their face. Nor would I want that for a baby , having fringe in their face. It's Very Cute With the Fringes but not always Practical

Took hours because, after washing the fleece, I had gotten the last of two different fleece designs and so had to tidy up the ends. Here’s final product. Gorgeous. Knots are a terrific way to avoid sewing. Didnt measure the strips but had measured cutting out the corners. Turns out beautiful. I think next time I’ll do six inch. Easier to get ahold to turn. Thx sooo much for sharing so clearly! Chose a green and black plaid for one side and a wonderful deer and moose and evergreen red and white other side.

@darlagolden6873 2 ай бұрын

So, six inches. Do you still cut the strips every 1 inch? In this video, they look REALLY close together. I've had fleece in my closet for at least 10 years and I'm finally retired and want to make a blanket for these old, cold bones. 😂

Great tutorial! If you wanted to make it round or oval and stuff it for a dog bed, you wouldn't need to cut out anything, would you? I'm trying to picture it in my head and for some reasonI can't think of a reason why you would need to but I wouldn't have thought about cutting the corners out of a square or rectangle either. 🤷🤦

@CutesyCrafts 4 жыл бұрын

You wouldn't need to cut out corners, but the round edges will make your tabs wider at the top. To fix that, you'll need to cut out wedges like I did with the curves on this mermaid tail blanket: cutesycrafts.com/2018/11/no-sew-fleece-mermaid-tail-blanket-pattern.html

@tobyford5281 3 жыл бұрын

There is different thickness of fleece. Make sure and pick the higher priced thicker fleece for a heavier blanket. The other option that might work is using 3 layers instead of two. If you try this I would cut your strips at least 6 inches (instead of 5) because it will give you more space to loop and knot the three strips at once which may be more challenging.

@judithmonchamp1283 4 жыл бұрын

great instructions exccept I don't understand what you mean near the beginning when you put the measurerer across the corner and you say to make sure you have whole numbers. do you mean that at 5" it should measurre in whole numbers? i understand why you would want whole numbers but I am not sure what it is that I am measuring at that point. Love these blankets and can't wait to make some,

2 yards for a small adult you’ll want to get 2 and a half yards or so for around 6 foot adults because the 2 yards feels like less after cutting and doesn’t cover your feet like you need haha also look for technique where you cut a slit on each tassel and weave them through each other.

I think the width of most fleece is 58 inches (at least the ones at my local store are). I would use 1 yard for a baby, 1 1/2 for a child, and 2 for an adult. The baby one, you might need to trim off some of it so you don't get a really long, skinny blanket.

Could I use 1 piece of fleece fabric and one piece of let's say cotton fabric? So one side of the blanket is fleece and one side is cotton like a reversible blanket? Or would that not work?

@CutesyCrafts 4 жыл бұрын

You can't use cotton because it will fray. The only fabrics I can think of to use (other than fleece) are minky and jersey cotton (t-shirt fabric). Those might handle a bit differently (the t-shirt fabric would probably curl up), so you'd have to play around it. I'd probably pre-shrink if you're using two different types of fabric too. Just in case one kind shrinks more than the other.
