How to Make a Blanket
 

Making a blanket or throw is a fun and easy project to do. Even though a sewing machine is required, you do not need to know how to sew in order to make this blanket. For the purpose of this article, the instructions are for a fleece blanket with "fringe." Read on to learn how to make a blanket.

Instructions
Things You'll Need:

    * Sewing machine
    * Scissors
    * Straight edge (yard stick)
    * Pencil
    * Fleece material (measurements listed in Step 1)
    * Fabric measuring tape

1. Choose fabric. If you are creating this blanket for personal use, choose a color or print of fleece that is in a favorite color or pattern. If you are creating the blanket for a decorating accent, choose a color or design that coordinates with the room's decor. For a baby or small child, purchase 1 yard of fabric, but if the blanket will be used by an older child or adult, purchase at least 2 yards.

2. Prepare fabric. Open the piece of fabric and lay out on a workspace or floor. Measure 3 inches from the edge and make a small mark to notate the 3 inch point all the way around the blanket.

3. Draw a straight line. Use a straight edge, such as a yard stick, and connect all of the 3-inch points together in a straight line going all the way around the fabric.
  
4. Cut the "fringe." Measure two inches across and cut down to the 3-inch line.
  
5. Measure spaces. After the first 2-inch fringe, measure a 2-inch space and cut out another 2-inch fringe. Continue pattern around the perimeter of the fleece blanket, leaving a 2-inch space in between all fringes.
  
6. Sew. When all of the fringes are cut, simply sew a straight stitch on top of the penciled line, "stopping" the cuts made into the fabric to create the fringe.
