- Water soluble marker

DIRECTIONS:
- Cut twelve 1 1/2"x 58" strips of fleece. Set aside.
- Trim salvage edges off of the remaining piece of fleece. Fold long edges under about 1/2" and stitch to hem.
- With the right side of the blanket facing up, fold both unfinished ends up 12". Use the water soluble marker to mark a line 6" up from the fold. Stitch along marked line.
- Cut edge open along the fold.
- Fold upper flap down so that each short edge of the blanket has a 6" border that is made of three layers of fleece.
- Use fringe cut slotted ruler and rotary cutter to fringe the edge of the blanket without cutting through the stitch line. Cut fringe as narrow as possible.
- Layer 1 1/2" wide strips into sets of two. Stitch down the center of the strip along length. Fringe stripes on either side of the stitch line without cutting through the stitches.
- Pin fringed strips to the top of the blanket, using the photo as a guide for placement. Following the first stitch line, stitch down the center of the strip to attach strips to the blanket. Trim off any overhang and fluff fringe to finish.
