Don't They Look So Cozy?
They are crazy easy to make too, if you have a sewing machine.
I have made a few of these as gifts this year. Corwin, was surprised to learn that these were gifts for adults. I pointed out that even adults like cozy little blankets in patterns that will make them smile. These are approximately 4 ft x 4 ft, the perfect size for your lap, or over your shoulders at your desk. If you want it closer to twin sized, you will need to adjust the measurements listed below.
Start out with a yard and a half of your favorite polar fleece, and trim the uncut edges.
You will need 1/3 yard of a complimenting color of fleece as well, cut into strips about 2-3 inches wide
Pin the strips about 3 inches in from the edge of the fabric and sew into place along each edge.
Then take your favorite pair of scissors and start cutting the outer edges into strips about 1 inch thick.
This blanket is not really heavy since it is only one layer thick, but the trim adds a little weight and makes it feel more substantial...
and cozy.
