To make a blanket:
- Cut two pieces of fleece that are each a 1.5 yards--both square.
- Lay one square on top of the other so they completely overlap.
- Cutting through both layers, cut a 3-inch square out of each corner, and discard them.
- Cut slits 3 inches long by approximately 3/4 inch wide along all four sides. Make the cuts as even as you can. This will look like fringe.
- Tie individual fringes together, top layer fringe to bottom layer fringe, using double knots. To make it easier, you can skip tying every other fringe.
