For those of you that have made these, did you use two layers of fabric?
Wasn't sure if one layer of flannel would hold up to the skip cutter used to make the holes.
Nothing against using fleece, I just have a it of flannel I want to use up.
I have been making these kind of flanellette baby blankets / wraps / rugs for quite a long time.
I cut the flannel to size, embroider a design in one corner, (I round the corners) overlock the edge with a three thread narrow edge and then hemstitch with a wing needle and hemstitch stitch on the machine. then proceed to crochet a simple edge, the first row is single crochet. I will attach a picture of some that I have done. I hope this information has been of some help.
