I first started crocheting a blanket. It was turning out nice and thick. Unfortunately, I ran out of the yarn I had planned to use. I know I could have kept on crocheting with a different yarn, or buy another yarn, but I scratched the blanket as my first and decided on making it a rug instead. Check it out:
So, as of early this week I was at 0 of 3. :(
Luckily, I had a backup plan of an easy blanket to make using fleece. Here it is:
It's a super simple method to make the finishing fringe.
1. Cut the corners (I remove a 4" x 4" square from each corner )
2. Cut strips. I used a piece of painters tape 4 inches from the edge as a guide of how far to cut. In this blanket I cut about 1.5" strips.
3. After cutting the strips, snip a small hole just above the middle of each strip. When you get to the corner, don't share the hole for the two corner strips. IMO, it just doesn't look right.
4. Fit the strip thru the hole from the bottom of the blanket and pull. Now do that for each hole.
And there you have it. Finished and super simple. 1 of 3. I hope to create another one like this tomorrow for Make a Blanket Day. How is your charity crafting going?
