Good Morning....
I've made several of these....they are quite easy to make actually...
I lay my 2 pieces of fleece today - the top and the back...usually I do a print with a coordinating solid.
Icut of the selvedges and straighten up the top and bottoms cut edges..

Once that is done, I measure in with my measureing tape or ruler 3"....and at the 3" mark I put a pin - and I do that around all 4 sides...

For the corners, where the corner pins meet, you need to cut out the corner..I hope that that makes sense...if you pin all the way to the edges - there'll be a blank corner area - you need to cut this out......

Then with my scissors I cut all around - cutting to the pins - every 1/4" or so....making the fringes....

Once I've cut all around, I then start double knotting the fringes - the print with the solid - be careful not to miss any - as you knot each little section you can take the pins out.......and that's it - I don't do any sewing, etc. - have done several - they they are so forgiving - everyone is great.....a lot of fun - I've done the small baby ones - as well as adult size in which I use 2 yard of each fleece....

Have fun..

I hope that this makes sense..

Cheers,

Bill
