- 1). Purchase fleece from a fabric store. You will need two separate pieces, each measuring 2 yards. One piece will be the front of the blanket, and the other will be the back. You may choose the same colors, complementary colors or patterns.
- 2). Cut any ragged or unfinished edges from the fleece using scissors or a rotary cutter. Make the fleece as even as possible.
- 3). Lay the fleece on a large, flat surface, with one panel on top of the other. Arrange the panels so if there is a pattern, it is facing out. Square the panels so they are laying evenly.
- 4). Measure a 4-inch square at one of the corners, and cut it out. Cut through both layers of fleece. Repeat cutting the 4-inch square from the remaining three corners.
- 5). Create the fringe by cutting 4 inches deep from the edge, at 1-inch widths around the edge of the fleece. Cut through both layers of the fleece. The final result will be 1-inch-wide pieces of fringe around the entire edge.
- 6). Secure the fringe by taking the top and bottom fringe piece from the fleece and tying them together at the base in a double knot. Continue to knot the fringe around the entire edge until the entire blanket has been knotted and secured.
