1. Choose 2 pieces of fleece track suiting any size you want.

I used 2 metres and it is 1,5 m wide.

Choose 1 pattern fabric and 1 matching plain colour fabric

Place them with WRONG sides together.

 

2.Trim the selvedges so that the 2 pieces match exactly.

 

3. Pin around the blanket about 10cm in from the edge

 

4. Cut out a 10 cm square on each corner.

 

5. Cut fingers between 4 and 5cm in width and 10 cm long (in line with the square.)

As you get to the next cut-out square you may have to adjust the fingers so that they fit in.

Go all the way around the blanket in this way.

 

 

6.Fold both pieces of fabric of each finger back, and with a sharp pair of scissors,

make a small cut ( about 0,5cm) as close to the fold as possible.

Make sure you snip through both pieces of fabric.

 

7.To knot each finger is a two step process.

Take the top piece of fabric (in my case the patterned piece),

and push it through the little cut of the second piece of fabric (the plain piece).

 

8. Now, working with the same finger, take the second colour of fabric (plain) which should at this stage

be at the top, and push it through the cut snip of the first piece (patterned) which should now be at the bottom.

 You have now "knotted" a finger!

 

9.Go around the whole blanket doing this to eachfinger and voila your blanket is made!

 

 

TIP: If you work with the plain fabric at the top, your pattern shows in the knot around the edge -

also very effective!
