DIY No-Sew Fleece Blanket

Winter is in full swing. I don’t know about you, but I am not a fan of cold weather at all. With the weather getting cooler, I’m always looking for ways to stay warm. Everyone needs a good cozy blanket for the winter. And what’s cozier than fleece? Fleece blankets are the bomb. If you’re looking for a good fleece blanket, I know just what you need! Here is my simple step-by-step guide to making my personal favorite kind of DIY no-sew fleece blanket.

What You’ll Need

• Fleece fabric
• Scissors

FLEECE FABRIC
You’ll need two equal pieces of fleece fabric. For an adult, I typically use 2 1/2 to 3 yards of each fabric. If you’re making one for a child, you could go smaller.

SCISSORS
Cutting tools for fabric.

Let’s Get Started

STEP #1
Lay out the two pieces of fabric (one on top of the other) on the ground so that the ends match up.

STEP #2
Cut a square out of both sets of fabric in all four corners. I typically cut the square at about 3-4 inches on each side.

STEP #3
Cut strips all the way around the fabric. Match up the strip length to the now-missing square length on the corners. I cut my strips about an inch in width.

STEP #4
Tie all the strips in double knots. I like to do a couple on each side at a time to help keep it from getting lopsided while tightening the knots. For example, I’ll tie 5 strips on one side, then 5 on the next side, and I work my way around until I’ve completed it.

And ta-da, you now have your own fleece blanket! Next time you curl up with some cocoa and Christmas movies, make sure to grab your new fleece blanket too. The fleece fabric options are endless, whether you want solids or patterns. Happy creating!
