A Knotty Blanket

This one is a sinch! I made this blanket in less than an hour and for less than $15.00 for my bestie's baby. It is so easy, inexpensive and a nice personal gift! My mother in law actually made one for my husband and I, and I've seen these blankets all around, but I actually had a hard time finding directions for how to make these...so for those of you who may want to make one one day, below are the instructions and steps.

Step 1:
Buy 2 pieces of felt.
Lay them on top of each other and align
as perfectly as possible.
Trim any access.

Step 2:
Measure and cut out a 4" x 4" square
on each corner of the stacked fabric pieces.

Step 3:
Start cutting your strips. I didn't measure,
but it was roughly 1" x 4"

Step 4:
Start tying the knots!
It is easiest by tying every other strip.

There are many ways to tie the knots.
Explore different methods and see
how different ties create a different look.

Step 5:
Personalize!
I chose iron-on because of my
awesome (sarcasm) sewing skills.
I did, however, sew a little to keep
these intact during washing.
