Sorry the pictures are a little fuzzy, I think the fleece print knocked the focus out of whack, but I think you can see well enough to figure out what's happening.

Thanks for the reminder. I saw this one on a utube once when looking up how to do these blankets.

The small rotary cutter works great. Just press it down into your fringe. Don't move it back and forth. It makes the perfect sized hole. Furthermore, how often do we use those tiny rotary cutters anymore? It's a good use for them!!

The other thing I have done with tie blankets to shake up the process a bit is to sew the side seams, right sides together, turn right side out and then fringe the ends. I personally am a little tired of just fringing the whole darn blanket as I have seen this for so many years. Doing it this way makes for a little bit bigger blanket too as you are not using up so much fabric in the tying process.

So you're sewing like the left and right sides, then tying the top and botton?

Yes! Sewing the long sides. Then whatever technique you prefer for the top and bottom.

Great idea. Did you use two layers of fleece?
