My Experience Making A Tie Blanket

My friend was having a baby and I wanted to make something special for her. I decided to make a tie blanket since they are easy to make and the final product is always so cozy and cute.

How Do You Make A Tie Blanket?

To make a tie blanket, you need two pieces of fleece fabric that are the same size. Lay the two pieces of fabric on top of each other, with the softer sides facing each other. Cut a one-inch square from each corner, and then cut strips that are one inch wide and four inches long around the edges.

Once you have cut all of the strips, tie each strip from the top piece of fabric to the matching strip on the bottom piece of fabric. You can either tie a simple knot or a double knot, depending on the look you prefer.
