Supplies: Sharp
scissors, masking tape, a 3 inch square template and a 1 & 1/4 inch template
(can make these from construction paper.)
Buy 2 yards of fleece for a large blanket or 1 & 1/2 yards for medium.
Please use blizzard no-pill fleece. Do not use the fleece from pre-packaged 2-sided blanket making "kits".
1. Place
fleece on the work table right side up and cut off selvage edges on both sides. Make sure the piece has square straight
edges.
2. Cut a 3” square from each corner (use the
template you made) and place a piece of masking tape from cut corner to cut
corner.
3. Cut each fringe to the edge of the tape –
(use the 1 & 1/4 inch template you made).
Then remove tape and repeat on all 4 sides. Work from one edge to middle
and then reverse edge to middle in case you need to fudge on the size.
4. Fold the fringe up and back - use the tips of scissors to make the tiny holes at the top/center of each fringe - (not larger than 1/8"). Remove tape.
5. Loop the fringe down thru the tiny hole, by pushing it thru with a
dowel or crochet hook. Pull all the fringes
the same way around the entire blanket.
That’s it – here is a picture
of your finished edge on right side
of blanket.
