No-Sew Fleece Blankets

Help provide warmth, comfort and coziness to individuals experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity during the chilly winter months.

Materials

  • 2 Pieces of Fleece, size dependent on the recipient/type of blanket:
  • For a standard twin sized blanket (66”x90”), fleece should be approximately 76”x100”
  • For a lap blanket (36”x48”), fleece should be approximately 46”x58”
  • For a small animal blanket (12”x12”), fleece should be approximately 22”x22”
  • For a medium animal blanket (24”x24”), fleece should be approximately 34”x34
  • For a large animal blanket (36”x36”), fleece should be approximately 46”x46”
  • Scissors
  • Ruler

Instructions

  1. Choose any color or style of fleece that you like.
  2. Line up the two fabrics, right side out. Trim both to the same size.
  3. Cut a 5-inch square from each of the four corners
  4. Cut fringe on all four sizes of the blanket. Cut through both layers of fabric at the same time. Fringe should be a little wider than the width of your finger and about 5 inches deep.
  5. With all the fringes lined up, start tying knots (tying together the top and bottom fleece). Work your way around the fleece blanket.
