Easy Baby Blanket DIY

June 5, 2014 ·

 Baby blankets are just the best for snuggling your newborn! This tutorial is really the easiest baby blanket tutorial ever and can make for a great shower gift.

    Materials

  • 1 yard cotton fabric (you can get mine here) //
  • 1 yard chenille fabric //
  • sewing machine //
  • scissors, thread, needle //

Since the size of my cotton fabric was 36″ by 42″ (most yards are 36 x 44), I simply used the entire yard for the blanket and put the chenille under the yard and cut around:

After your are done cutting, pin the fabric with the printed sides facing each other:
