I've liked making these no sew blankets it seemed more fun because it's absolutely pouring with rain here....and the polar fleece was so warm on my hands!
There are lots of tutorials out there on the web to chose from and I used one off you tube as my guide. Excuse the weird choice of polar fleece for a pet it was just so cheap I had to buy it at the time....
Making the Blanket
To start you just lay both pieces of the material down with right sides facing outwards. The length I used was a big oblong I didn't bother measuring it.
I then cut a square out 5"x5" with scissors at each end...a bit wonky but it doesn't matter here.... |
Then I lined up the fabric cutting length with a ruler... |
I used my finger width as a rough guide to cut the strips |
Then the strips were knotted in a overhand knot to form the blanket... |
I had help from a white pawed cat who loved the ties... I later made a smaller one for her! |
All finished the blanket didn't look too bad considering the fleece wasn't new... |
