We especially need blankets for teenage males. The best prints are sports-related themes (footballs, soccer balls, baseballs & basketballs), superheroes, animals, or other designs.

What You’ll Need:

• 2 Yards Plain Color Fleece
• 2 Yards Patterned Fleece
• Sharp Sewing scissors or rotary cutter
• 2 Inches Square Template

Directions

Smoothed Out  1. Layout your fleece on top of each other. Smooth out wrinkles and match up edges as best you can. Don’t pull too much as fleece has a bit of stretch to it.

Trim Edges  2. Trim edges.

4x4 Cut Out  3. Using your template, place on corner and cut out on all four corners.

Stripes to Tie  4. After cutting a four-inch strip along the edge, cut 1 1/4 inch strips.

Cut Stripes  5. After you cut the four inch strips, fold them up.

Individual Strips  6. Take the two strips and tie together to form a knot

Rows to Tie  7. Continue down the row with each strip.

Final Product  8. This knotting gives the blanket a nice look to the plain color side of the blanket.

**Please remember to be in prayer for the youth who will receive the blanket you are making.**
