Here is a great way to finish the edges of your fleece blanket project – Without having to sew!
You start out by cutting the fleece just like if you were going to tie the fringe. Next fold the fringe up and make a very small clip in the center of both pieces vertically, aligned with the fringe cut:
Then push both pieces through the little clip from the top of the blanket through to the back, pull all the way through but not too tight:
It takes longer than if you were to tie them but I like it better because the edges are smooth.
You can see my No-Sew, No Tie Fleece Blanket YouTube Video here, and Here.
Let me know how you like it.
Hey, I just have a question about the slit that’s being cut. Do you cut it vertically or horizontally? Do you have a picture of the cut?
I love this. I am going to be a first time Grandmother and I want to make something for my Grandchild before he is born. I am not very crafty, can you send me more pictures and directions. I would really appreciate it.
I love this idea for a smooth can you send me more pictures of how you make the slit and get the fringe through. Would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Linda
Can you send me pictures of how you make the slits?
can you give me a picture of the slit and how to push thru. Thanks
Kim OSMAR, It looks much cleaner.
Can you send me a pic of how you cut the slits, a little confused on what you are talking about. Thank you

i am looking to make a tie blanket for a man and i saw once a rope tie but cant find anything on how to do it. have any idea’s?
Can you email details on how to make this no knot blanket.
I’m sorry I’ve been so slow to answer all your queries. I am going to make a short video showing how to make the slits and how to insert them. Hopefully it will answer all your questions. I spent some time in Europe this past summer, and my camera got broken during one of it’s trips in baggage… I’ve got a new one ordered and as soon as I figure it out, I’ll make the video. I really appreciate all your interest.
I make these with the slits all the time. So easy… I cut mine vertically.
where did you say the how to video was?
Hi, I would love to see the video of how to do it. Can you please send me the link?
Thanks
Can you send me a better description of how to cut the slits and how to feed the material please 🙂
I was getting ready to try this method and I started thinking when you tie a blanket you take the corners off do you do the same with this?
Please send me the video of the slits. Do you put each piece through each slit? Sort of confusing.
Very nice finish. I can’t wait to try it. I’m thinking it would look cute to pull through every other one the opposite. Front to back, then back to front and so on. Thank you for sharing!
I think it’s a great idea but I need more pics for clips to start. Thank you
This is such a good idea! I want to try it, but I wonder if it would come loose when you wash it…….. Have you washed one that was done with this technique?????
Can u post a video or send to me via email?
details on making thr blanket PLEASE Thank-you.
Can you send a pic of the finished product
Would more instructions or pictures I’m a bit confused. And does it wash well?
Thanks for the idea and instructions, I like this finish better than the tied method. Cleaner edge.
As for all the “I don’t understand” comments, please tell me you are kidding !?!? The picture is right there and the directions are very clear. These comments have got to be jokes… No one is that slow…
I was wondering about the washing of it also. Does it come loose?
just saw this on pinterest and am wondering if you’ve posted a video somewhere about this. would love to know if you have, as this is a much cleaner look than the knots! please let me know via email if you’ve posted a video of this. hunted around on your blog, but didn’t see it. thanks!
It was so easy. I would love some more of your great ideas.
Could I have a pic of the slit too I wanna try this
I would love to have the directions for this.. showing how and where to make the slits. thanks ever so much
So there’s 2 pieces of fabric? How does the top fabric end up ontop in the fringe? Do you twist it?
I’m interested in how you finish the corners. Awesome idea. I’m thinking of using a big crochet hook to push through the slits and grab the tail or one of those potholder hooks too. 🙂
I saw this on Pinterest and love the idea better than the knots! I notice you made a video could you send me the link or video via email?
Thanks

Lovely idea for finishing the “no sew” blankets. Two things: how do they hold up to wear and tear and washing. Secondly, please send more descriptive photos/information as to how you finish these pretty blankets. Thank you.
