My Experience Making A Tie Knot Blanket

Recently, I decided to tackle the challenge of making a tie knot blanket. As someone who loves crafts and DIY projects, I was excited to try something new. I had seen pictures of these blankets on social media and knew they were a trendy item to have. But, I had no idea where to start.

How To Make A Tie Knot Blanket

If you’re like me and have no idea where to start, don’t worry. Making a tie knot blanket is actually quite simple. Here are the steps to follow:

Step 1: Choose Your Fabric

The first step in making a tie knot blanket is choosing your fabric. You can use any type of fabric you like, but fleece works great for this project. You’ll need two pieces of fabric, one for the top and one for the bottom. Make sure they are the same size.

Step 2: Cut the Fabric

After you have your fabric, it’s time to cut it to size. You’ll want to cut both pieces of fabric to be the same size. This will make it easier to tie the knots. You can cut them to any size you want, but a standard size for a tie knot blanket is 60 inches by 72 inches.

Step 3: Lay the Fabric on Top of Each Other

Once you have your two pieces of fabric cut to size, lay them on top of each other. Make sure the sides that you want to show are facing each other.

Step 4: Cut the Corners

Next, you’ll want to cut the corners of the fabric. Cut a 4-inch square out of each corner.

Step 5: Cut Strips Around the Blanket

After you have cut the corners, it’s time to make the strips. Cut 1-inch strips around the entire blanket. Make sure the strips are the same size and width.

Step 6: Tie the Knots

Now it’s time to tie the knots. Take one strip from the top fabric and one from the bottom fabric and tie them together in a knot. Tie the knots tightly so they don’t come undone. Continue tying knots around the entire blanket.

Step 7: Finish the Blanket

After you have tied all the knots, your blanket is almost complete. You can finish the edges by sewing them together or leaving them as is.
