start with your fleece. i bought 1 1/2 yds for the top with a coordinating 1 1/2 yds for the backing.
square up your corners and cut a 4x4 inch square.
to make your ties, cut 4 inch strips, 1 inch wide.
fold both layers of the tie up and cut a slit around 1/4-1/2 inch long.
lay your tie back out flat.
pull both layers of fleece up and through the slit
this is what it should look like...
continue that all the way around the 4 sides and you're all done!

This looks so super cute! This may be a silly question to those of you are avid blanket makers but this will be my first one...Why do you cut the 4x4 square and do you only cut it out of one of the corners? Thanks
Just made my first ever blanket today and it came out amazing...Ty

Adorable, Thanks for sharing your tip. We have a grandbaby on the way and can't wait to try and make one of these.

would it stay tight if it got thrown into the wash or something? I'm afraid they might come undone.
My question too...what happens when the blanket goes thru a washer and dryer?

Why do you cut a 4 inch square? Is this done on all 4 corners?
I love your blanket and would love to make one but dont understand the corners. Please help!!
Very useful post. This is my first time i here. I found so many interesting stuff in your blog especially its discussion. Really its great article. Keep it up.

The corners would be cut because there would be nothing to hold those fringe pieces in place.
