step one: Draft a pattern for your blanket
It is helpful to imagine how you want your blanket to look before starting. Making a template is an easy way to come up with exactly what you want to make. Once your template is done, it is a helpful tool to keep you on track as you are constructing your blanket. It's like following a recipe.
step two: cut out fleece rectangles
You'll need to cut your fabric into 14" by 10" rectangles. It helps to have a rotary cutter for this part, but a sharp pair of scissors works fine too.
STEP THREE: CUT SLITS IN THE RECTANGular panels
These cuts will create fringes for us to tie together so that our rectangular panels can become a blanket. A helpful tool to make cutting go by faster it so make a template. Using printer paper or cardboard, you can make a guide for your cuts so that each panel has matching cuts.
step four: remove the corners of the rectangle
