Fun To Make and Give...

So here is my latest creation! I was really quite surprised that it turned out as cute as it did.

My sister-in-law is prego and going to have a baby like any minute now, and I wanted a cute blanket, but not the same old thing. So I came up with this. 

Here is what you need;

-Half yard of Fleece

-Matching Yarn {I actually used two different colors for around the stars too, but you don't have to}

- Two different colors of Matching Felt {Make sure it is machine washable}

-Scissors

-Needles big enough for yarn

-Paper

Just 4 easy steps to follow below...

1. Start by going around the blanket with a Blanket Stitch. If you're not sure how to do this, I found a great tutorial to learn how on YouTube.

2. Cut out a pattern on white paper of the shape you want to embellish your blanket with. Then take the white paper pattern and trace it onto the felt, cut it out.

3. Now just like you did on the blanket, do the same stitch around the stars to give them an adorable finished look. 

4. Then stitch around the stars just going through the fleece and the stitch on the stars, so you won't see a stitch on the actual star itself. Mine definitely is NOT perfect, but I think it looks pretty good for a first time job!

Good Luck!
