My Experience With Tying A Knot Blanket
Recently, I decided to try my hand at making a knot blanket. I had seen them all over social media and thought it would be a fun project to undertake. Little did I know, it would become my new favorite hobby!
How to Tie a Knot Blanket
First things first, you need to gather your materials. You will need two pieces of fleece fabric, each measuring the same size. I recommend using a fabric cutter to ensure clean cuts, but scissors will work just fine as well.
Lay the two pieces of fabric on top of each other, with the right sides facing out. Cut out a square of fabric from each of the corners, making sure they are the same size. Then, cut slits around the edges of the blanket, about an inch apart and an inch deep.
Next, tie each pair of slits together in a knot. I like to tie them twice to ensure they are secure. Continue tying knots all the way around the blanket, until all of the pairs of slits have been tied.
