My Experience Making A No Sew Tie Blanket

A few months ago, I decided to make a no sew tie blanket for my nephew’s birthday present. I had never made one before, but after watching a few tutorials online, I felt confident enough to give it a try.

How To Make A No Sew Tie Blanket

A no sew tie blanket is a simple and easy-to-make blanket that requires no sewing machine. Here’s how to make one:

Step 1: Choose Your Fabric

Choose two pieces of fabric that are the same size. You can choose any type of fabric you like, but make sure they are both machine washable.

Step 2: Cut Your Fabric

Cut both pieces of fabric to the same size. You can make your blanket any size you like, but a standard size is 60 inches by 72 inches.

Step 3: Lay Your Fabric Out

Lay one piece of fabric on top of the other, with the right sides facing each other.

Step 4: Cut the Corners

Cut a 4-inch square out of each corner of the fabric.

Step 5: Cut the Fringe

Cut a 1-inch fringe around all four sides of the fabric. Make sure the fringe is the same length on both pieces of fabric.

Step 6: Tie the Fringe

Tie the fringe from one piece of fabric to the fringe from the other piece of fabric. Tie the fringe in a double knot to secure it.
