How to Make a No-Sew Fleece Blanket

You will need 1 ½ yards of printed fleece and 1 ½ yards of a solid matching fleece to make a larger blanket or you can use 1 yard of each for a baby blanket.


Lay the fabric down, wrong sides together. The right side of your printed fleece will be on the top.

Pin the edges together.

Trim the edges to make the sides even--often times one piece of fleece is larger than the other. Cut off the selvage (finished edge) too.

Cut a 6, 7 or 8 inch square out paper (if you want longer fringe, use an 8 inch square. Place it in one corner of your blanket and cut around it. If you are making a smaller blanket, cut out a 4 inch square.

Do this in all four corners.

I like to tape around my blanket before I cut my fringe. This lets me know how far up to cut. This is particularly helpful when younger kids are making the blankets.

Now you are ready to fringe the blanket. At one inch (or one and a half inch) intervals cut from the outside of the blanket to the tape line. Do this around the entire blanket. The paper is just there so you can see that I was making cuts.

Double knot the fringe pieces all the way around the blanket.

The finished product!
