Tie Blanket

Tie blankets look cool with their fringes, knots and dual colors. You would be happy to know that they don’t require any sewing. Just a little bit of cutting and simple knotting does the trick. They are usually made of fleece as the material is light and stretchy. Also, it doesn’t fray when cut.

  • Two pieces of fleece fabric that are at least 40 inches in width (baby blankets are of 40 inches, toddlers need 54” while for adults it is 72”)
  • Tape measure or ruler
  • A pair of sharp scissors or rotary cutter
  • Cutting mat
  • Chalk or washable fabric pen

DIY Instructions
