When I make blankets and use a solid color anti pill or blizzard fleece, I have a hard time seeing which side of the fleece is the “good” side. My eyesight isn’t what it used to be. Do you have anything in your bag of tricks that will help me? Also, thank you so much for your posts! You’re succinct and a good teacher LW

I make the little bow edged blankets all the time. I make a cut every three to four inches. Cutting off the corners. At the center of each strip at the top makes a tiny slit or using a yarn needle with whatever yard you want to use. Thread the yarn into the slit and then make a little accordion shape folding the strip back and forth. Tie the yarn into the center knotting it then trimming the ends of the yarn leaving little bows. I make the slits about three inches up. They make the most ruffly bows. For more standard bows only make the slits two inches up.

In reply to Kim. no. We don't attach them in the middle. There is enough static cling between the two that they don't really come apart!

Thanks for the great tutorial.

One question. When using two layers of fleece. Do you need to attach them in the middle? I can’t imagine how they go through the wash with just the edges attached.

Thanks!!

In reply to Marie. We noticed if you pull too tight they get gathered a little bit. So tie a knot without pulling it all the way (if that makes any sense!)

How do you get your corners so flat when you tie a knot? Mine came out a little like a fitted bed sheet.
