Directions: When purchased, sides of polar fleece have a rolled edge or a selvage.Please trim this edge off prior to creating the blanket.If you need a cutting guide place a piece of masking tape 5” in from the edge on top and bottom of blanket to be used as a cutting guide.Cut top and bottom sides into 1” x 6” strips (cut toward center of blanket to make fringe).Eventually, you will cut out a square in the corners by creating your fringes.See diagram below.Remove masking tape.Tie overhand knot on each strip to create a finished fringe edge as shown on the patch.
