My Experience With Making A Knot Blanket

A few months ago, I decided to try my hand at making a knot blanket. I had seen them all over social media and thought they looked cozy and fun to make. After a bit of research and trial and error, I was able to successfully make my own knot blanket.

How Do You Make a Knot Blanket?

A knot blanket is made by tying strips of fleece fabric together to create a cozy, warm blanket. Here are the basic steps:

Step 1: Choose Your Fabric

You will need two pieces of fleece fabric in the same size. You can choose any color or pattern that you like. Make sure to wash and dry your fabric before you begin.

Step 2: Cut Your Strips

Cut 1-inch-wide strips along all four edges of both pieces of fabric. Be sure to cut through both layers of fabric at the same time.

Step 3: Tie Your Knots

Once all of your strips are cut, tie each pair of strips together in a knot. Make sure to tie the knots tightly and evenly throughout the entire blanket.

Step 4: Finish Your Blanket

Once all of your knots are tied, you can trim any excess fabric from the edges of your blanket and give it a quick wash and dry. Your knot blanket is now ready to use!
