How to Make Fleece Knot Blankets 1.Spread out the two sheets of fleece; one on top of the other. Trim to match material. 2.Put a notecard in all corners and cut 3.Cut the sides of the blanket up to the cut of the corners 4.Tie the bottom layer to the top layer by using a simple knot 5.Complete this step on all sides

Deliver Blankets Once the blankets are made, package them up festively (it was near Christmas when we did ours). Go to your local hospital which you want to support, be sure to contact them first, and deliver the blankets. We ended up making 24 blankets total!
