Please let me say THANK YOU! 28 years ago my son was born with multiple birth defects. You have no idea the comfort a blanket like that blanket brought to me during difficult time. I couldn't always hold him but I could cuddle the blanket, use it while pumping my milk, use it to comfort him with my scent on it etc. Your not just making a blanket your giving comfort and love to parents who have unsure future. I still have the blanket and gave it to his son my grandson.
i love this, when i was younger i got extremely ill and i received a Linus Blanket that was handmade and i still have it to this day. It was amazing knowing that someone cared
Hello from Panama...greetings...I really liked the first and second...I'm going to make it for my three granddaughters...thank you...God bless you...greetings.
Awesome video! I knew there had to be another way to knot it besides just tying it. Love the little written comments as I watched! Thank you for the quick corner instructions! Beautiful job! Thank you again!
Thank you for the new technique. I really appreciate this video because I want the ends to lay down this time. I'm making a no-sew blanket for my deployed soldier. Blessings.
Love your different methods! Wished I'd seen this before I cut the strips, next time I'm doing the scallops! Thanks for showing an old lady something new. God bless you and your family and stay safe and healthy. Merry 🎄 👑🙏💞✝️🐾🕯🕯🕯🕯♾
I just want to say THANK YOU!! Your video out of a MILLION other videos I have watched trying to see how to do this blanket, is absolutely the easiest and most useful one I have found! It’s stunningly beautiful to!! ❤ God bless you!!!!
I used the loop-through method you taught for a blanket to give my mother, who is fighting pancreatic cancer. Thank you so much for teaching me how to do this. The finished product looks beautiful, and I can't wait to give it to her!
You’re a great teacher! I’ve been looking for an activity with a purpose that my friend with moderate dementia, and arthritis can do together. Plus, I can work on this during dialysis.
This video is so well done! Thank you! I'm just beginning to try my hand at making no-sew fleece blankets and this is going to make me look like a seasoned pro!
Thank you for your video!!! I was having a hard time with the corners of the fleece blankets I’ve been tying for years! They always look so funky until I learned from your video how to correctly make the corners! The pull-thru method is a great way to change things up!!
l just watched your videos and I'm going to try them out at my Kids Club meeting. The children like crafts and we are making these blankets for needy families, whom I know will appreciate and enjoy them. Thank you so much for your easy instructions !!!!
I'm making a fleece tie blanket for the first time to send to my sister for Christmas. This was the most helpful and calm video I found. Your instructions were clear and your work is beautiful. Thank you for this awesome tutorial - I have more confidence in my ability to actually make this blanket properly now. :)
Yes , you are on point Puffin , It wasn't too busy of chatter and visuals … :) Loved the calm and peaceful tone and doesn't go too fast , and not to mention a variety of ways to try in one EASY video … LOve it … Thanks " A Girl and a glue gun "
I have been making these type of blankets for new babies of friends and family members for years and everyone has LOVED them. My sister just asked me to make one for my elderly mother and I am going to try the new finish with the slits and slipping the fabric through. Thanks for the idea!
New subbie here, I just found your channel and really like that you show there are so many ways to finish these easy no sew blankets, I'm a senior and sometimes need just a little extra something to grab to be warmer, You've made it so easy to follow making these blankets, Thank you so much !
I love the tieing method that swaps the coordinating colors to the opposite side by threading them through the small snipped holes three times. I'm definitely using this for the Yule project I'm making for a gift :) thank you!
Perfect tips for changing up the new sew throw projects. They are great activities for the “Silver Sewing” clubs at retirement homes and Assisted Living Centers. I plan to put the tips to good use! thanks!
Omg love these ideas I'm making my very first no sew blanket and I'm kinda nervous about it but since I watch this I feel more comfortable thank you and especially for taking the time to show us slowly oh I just became a new subscriber after watching this 😊
Thank you for this video. All of the designs you provided are great! However, I love the looped fleece blanket. It fits perfectly with the fabrics my friend purchased for her son.
YOU HAVE OPENED UP A WHOLE WORLD FOR ME. I AM IN A WHEELCHAIR DUE TO A STROKE AT 33. I HAVE SHAKINESS (ATAXIA) AND CANNOT DO MOST CRAFTS. YOUR TUTORIAL IS GREAT! YOU MAKE IT SOOOO EASY TO MAKE GIFTS OR DONATIONS. TY!! BUT I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE AMT. OF MATERIAL FOR A LARGER PERSON AND A TALL COLLEGE STUDENT. I BELIEVE I BUY 1 YARD OF EACH, FOR A CRIB SIZE, 2 YDS OF EA. FOR A CHILD SIZE, 3- ADULT SIZE AND IS IT 4 YDS OF EACH FOR A LARGER SIZE. IS THIS RIGHT? TY FOR HELPING ME FEEL PRODUCTIVE!
A twin bed is 75 inches long. An X-long bed is 80 inches long. Find out which the College Student is in. Then add about 6 to 8 inches to replace the edges that are being cut to tie/knot Etc... That is how I do it. Oh though if you want to account for his tallness you will probably have to add more. Since you will want to go over his/her feet I forgot to and ours was to short .
1 yard is plenty for crib size. 1.5 for a child under 4ft tall. If your making a throw for a tall man 2.5 yards is the length of a twin/full size bed. It would make a great throw that would cover his feet.
I would recommend 3 yards , I am a basketball player and I make lots of blankets 3 yards is as big ass a full size bed with almost a yard left at the bottom if you are rapped in your blanket. 4 yards may be a bit much but at the end of the day if they are over 6 feet that might be best and safest so that it is not too small.😊☺️
I know this comment is old, but anyone reading this now, making a 3 yard tie blanket is a nightmare and it’s just not worth it! Lol for an adult I would recommend two yards. I ended up giving away my 3 yard tie blanket to a friend cause I got so frustrated at folding it and carrying it. And it takes ages to tie all the little knots.
Thank you I made the ones that tied for years but really didn’t like the messy knots . I stopped doing them . But now I’m going to start again love the scalloped edges. Thanks again
I tried combining 2 of your methods and loved the result. I did the pull through 3 times and then tied. It keeps the ties flatter but gives a nice braided edge look. I also used embroidery thread to tie throughout the middle of the blanket as you would a tie quilt. Thanks so much!!!
I must be the same as you when it comes to color blind, i love her too... but I only use fiskars for anything that might damage my knife edge gingher scissors, i saw struggle with snipping and gingher's are 1 snip action.
I have my mother's birthday coming up and she loves homemade gifts. I think this will be perfect. I think I'm going to use the second method. Also, I plan to sew some letters into the blanket
I’m obsessed with these blankets. I got my first one from my cousins and then one while in the children’s hospital. I got two from friends and now I’m making myself a giant one
For the yarn tasseled one, another option is the latch hook tool. A little less cumbersome than pulling the yarn through with your fingers. When I was a teenager, I used to make small pillows with novelty washcloths using the yarn tassels to hold the sides together. The latch hook tool would also serve to puncture the hole in the material. Just a thought... Great video!
I absolutely love the Loop Through Method and the Scallop Method. I just bought a piece of fleece 2 days ago, but now I will buy a backing to do one of those methods. And by the way, I am 60sh and never too old to learn. Thanks. 😊
I love the trippy design 😵💫

Cynthia Bethuy hi. Every video I’ve seen recommends two yards for adult size blankets. I don’t know if that helps. I have yet to try making a blanet
A twin bed is 75 inches long. An X-long bed is 80 inches long. Find out which the College Student is in. Then add about 6 to 8 inches to replace the edges that are being cut to tie/knot Etc... That is how I do it. Oh though if you want to account for his tallness you will probably have to add more. Since you will want to go over his/her feet I forgot to and ours was to short

Thank you I made the ones that tied for years but really didn’t like the messy knots . I stopped doing them . But now I’m going to start again love the scalloped edges. Thanks again
i have been trying to find a video that is easy , fun , and creative. I found it Thank you.
You saved my sanity by showing me how to deal with the corners !!!!
I usually cut a 4"' or 5" square piece of paper and use it to cut all four corners before starting. Either way works though.
I tried combining 2 of your methods and loved the result. I did the pull through 3 times and then tied. It keeps the ties flatter but gives a nice braided edge look. I also used embroidery thread to tie throughout the middle of the blanket as you would a tie quilt. Thanks so much!!!
Thanks for these ideas! I'm going to try them
Do you have a pic of the braiding look?
Thank you for this beautiful ideas. I appreciate this very much.
Thanks 😊 for idea 💡 love the cut slit design 😍
Love it , Thank you. I will do them for all my Grandkids.
Great tutorial. I struggled with knots on my first one. Will try the slit method on my second one. Thank you
Thank you very very much for posting your video. I forgot my instructions and am happy you show different options. Just great!!!
That was so awesome! thanks for the easy to follow video. 🥁🥰👍🏼👏🏼
Thank you for the detailed video, I'm going to try the split-pull thru method!!
Thank you very much for sharing your great ideas! 😎🌸
I love the scallop edge. Thanks so much. I’m using that idea today.
@ Mary How do you make the Scalloped Edges ? Is that a certain Scissor ?
I'm not color blind. ;) You are so hilarious. I just love your blog!
I must be the same as you when it comes to color blind, i love her too... but I only use fiskars for anything that might damage my knife edge gingher scissors, i saw struggle with snipping and gingher's are 1 snip action.
Love this going try my first fleece blanket with this method thanks for sharing!
I’m starting a blanket and I’m going with the tassels. Thanks for the new method
Thanks so much! Everyone loves a cute personalized warm blanket. Disney Princesses for my nieces. Christmas gifts!
Thanks-those were some great ideas I haven’t seen before!
oh i luv these ive always done just the normal ties but i really luv the other ideas. I cant wait to start makin some, thanks for the video.
I love this video, perfect amount of comic relief 🤩
This video was very very helpful I was able to put your ideas with mine and the finished product looks amazing thank you for sharing
@Juillette Show us your Blankets 😊
Wow, thank you for different ideas.....
A "Latch Hook" would make adding tassels much easier. Beautiful work. Thank you
Thank you for this! I am using your second option for a Christmas gift 🥰 I like it mich better than the knots.
i love the pull thru method it is alot easier on arthritic hands . thank you so much.
Thank you for sharing, love this! 🙏🏻💜
I have my mother's birthday coming up and she loves homemade gifts. I think this will be perfect. I think I'm going to use the second method. Also, I plan to sew some letters into the blanket
I’m obsessed with these blankets. I got my first one from my cousins and then one while in the children’s hospital. I got two from friends and now I’m making myself a giant one
Thanks for the demonstration it's helped no end!!!
Thank you for the information. I have never done one but I'm headed to JoAnns right now! Well maybe shop online.👍👍👍
You are so creative. Thank you for sharing
Love the first one!!
Thank you so much my mom is working on a blanket and she will really enjoy this
That tassel one is awesome
Thanks very informative. You have great teaching technique.
For the yarn tasseled one, another option is the latch hook tool. A little less cumbersome than pulling the yarn through with your fingers. When I was a teenager, I used to make small pillows with novelty washcloths using the yarn tassels to hold the sides together. The latch hook tool would also serve to puncture the hole in the material. Just a thought...
Great video!
Watching hers, it leaves an unfinished edge…
I absolutely love the Loop Through Method and the Scallop Method. I just bought a piece of fleece 2 days ago, but now I will buy a backing to do one of those methods. And by the way, I am 60sh and never too old to learn. Thanks. 😊
Thank you for sharing theses fun ideas!!
Excellent ideas. Thank you 😊 for sharing

A latch hook would work even better for the yarn method. :)
The scallop is super cute, too.

Thank you! I am going to make my first blanket for my grandson :)
I think i love the slit pull thru method best, it looked much nicer and neater.
This is a great non-tie method. Thanks
