Difficulty Level:
Average
Time Required:
20 minutes
Here's How:
- You will need: 1 to 1 3/4 yards of Polar fleece fabric , thread and scissors.
- Trim off the salvage edge of the fabric.
- Fold the fabric in half length wise and then in half of that length.
- Locate the corners of the blanket. This will be the corners of the folded fabric which has no folds.
- Mark a rounded edge on the corners by using a dinner plate as a template .
- Trim all four corners evenly.

- If you do not have a serger, use a blanket stitch around the entire edge to finish the edges
