My Mom's friends gave us a no-sew blanket kit for Christmas, in hopes that we could make together. It's been quite busy lately, but this weekend we found time. It was so much fun.
This is one lovely, yet simple project you can work on with someone else. It creates not only a wonderful keepsake, but a beautiful memory.

| {Lay the two pieces of fleece out so that the wrong sides are together (both right sides are facing out) and the edges are even. If the edges are not even, trim the larger piece of fleece so that both pieces are even. Cut off the selvage edge from the both pieces.} |
 |
| {Cut out a 5" square from each corner. On all four sides, cut slits all the way around that are 5" deep and approximately 1 1/2" apart. You should cut through both layers of fleece at one time.} |
 |
{Cutting the slits in the edges makes fringe. Since you
cut through both layers of fleece at the same time, the fringe
will be in pairs. Knot each pair in an overhand
knot - just like you tie a balloon. The knot should be close to the actual blanket.
Continue knotting each of the pairs all the way around}
