Blizzard Fleece and Anti Pill Fleece "terms" or "brands" you may "wonder" about before you buy your fleece for your hand tied blanket.

Blizzard Fleece usually is cheaper. It will pill and not look very attractive after a few washings. If this is your first try - confident level is not yet there - go with the cheaper stuff. Quoted from Joann Fabrics and Crafts "Soft, warm and cozy, alpine fleece is our thickest and heaviest fleece. Made in Taiwan Easy care and easy to sew. Great for apparel and blankets."

Anti Pill Fleece will not pill and is more expensive. Valsjewels uses anti-pill fleece for our HandTied Double Knotted Fleece Throws. Quoted from Joann Fabrics and Crafts "Soft, warm and cozy, this fleece has a brushed finish to prevent pilling. Made in Taiwan. Easy care and easy to sew. Anti Pill Fleece is Great for apparel and blankets."

Instructions: How to Make a Fleece Blanket and Pillow - Hand Tied - Throw
Skill Level: No experience needed.

Supplies and Tools
Fleece Print 2 3/4 yards
Fleece Solid 2 3/4 yards
14" x 14" Pillow Form
Scissors or rotary cutter and mat
Tape measure

Directions:
Project Tip: Cut both layers of fleece at the same time.

Fleece Blanket Throw

  1. From each piece of fleece, cut a 56" x 70" rectangle.
    1. Cut both at the same time
  2. Place fleece rectangles wrong side together.
    1. Smooth and pin together approximately 10" from outside edges all the way around spaced 12" or more apart (just enough pining to hold the two together).
  3. Cut out 7" square from each corner of both fleece pieces.
  4. To make the fringe, cut 7" into fleece at 1" intervals around all sides of both top and bottom.
  5. Knot fringe pieces together around entire blanket, using one strand from the front and one strand from the back.
Fleece Hand Tied Pillow

  1. From each piece of fleece, cut a 26" x 26" square.
    1. Cut both at the same time.
  2. Place fleece squares wrong sides together.
    1. Smooth and pin together 10" from outside edges and sparingly; just to hold together.
  3. Cut out a 5" square from each corner of both fleece pieces.
  4. To make the fringe, cut 5" into fleece at 1" intervals around all sides of both top and bottom.
  5. Knot fringe pieces together on three sides, using on strand from the front and one strand from the back.
  6. Insert pillow form between front and back of fleece. Knot last side closed.
Tips:
  • Depending on the fleece and especially Licensed Characters you may want to trim the salvage before you cut out your blanket - Trim off any selvage around the edges of your fleece (try not to cut in more than 2 inches). Fleece Fabric widths are usually 58" before trimming the salvage; each pattern and its salvage is different. Solids are no problem.
  • Tie these knots on every other fringe around the entire blanket. Then flip the whole blanket over and tie the remaining knots until your blanket is complete. (This helps your knotted ends to look perfect).
  • Some prefer to only tie one knot, but I like to double knot them. This helps them from coming untied especially in the wash.
