Materials Needed
To make your DIY love knot fleece blanket, you will need:
- 2 metres printed polar fleece
- 2 metres plain polar fleece
Equipment Required
- Fabric scissors
- Pins
- Sullivans Quilters Ruler (16.25 × 16.25 cm)
- Pencil
Helpful Hint
When gently pulled along the grain, polar fleece will naturally curl toward the wrong side. Keep this in mind when lining up and knotting your fabric to ensure a neat finish.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Fabric
Lay the printed polar fleece and plain polar fleece together with the right sides facing outward.
Step 2: Trim the Selvedge
Trim away the selvedge edges and pin the two layers together to keep them aligned.
Step 3: Cut the Corners
Using a quilter’s ruler, cut 6-inch squares out of each corner of the fabric.
Step 4: Create the Fringe
Cut 1-inch-wide strips along all four sides of the blanket. Use a marker or pencil to rule guidelines before cutting for accuracy.
Step 5: Tie the Knots
Tie the top and bottom fleece strips together by looping and pushing the fabric upward to form secure knots.
Step 6: Continue Around the Blanket
Finish tying knots along all four sides of the blanket.
Step 7: Final Touches
Remove all pins once knotting is complete. Your love knot blanket is now ready to use or gift.
