1½ yards Coordinating (Solid) Fleece
Sharp Scissors

Instructions

Spread out both pieces of the fabric, patterned as well as coordinating, on a large flat surface. Make sure that the right side of both the fabrics is facing out.
Now, smooth out the fabrics, until you see them completely devoid of wrinkles and fabric bunching.
Pin both the fabric pieces together, making sure to join them a few inches away from the edges.
With the help of scissors, trim off the selvage edges of the fabric. If case the two fabrics are not of the same size, trim them to ensure that they are.
Once again, smooth out the fabric in such a way that there are no wrinkles or bunching.
Cut a 4-inch square from each of the four corners of the fabric.
Now, cut 4 to 5-inch slits in the fabric, making sure that the width is approximately ¾ to 1 inch.
Starting at one corner of the fabric, tie the first two pieces of fringe together. Make use of a double knot, which should not be too tight.
Tie a few fringes on each of the corners. It will help keep the fabric straight.
The process comes to an end and the throw become complete, as you finish tying the rest of the fringe around the throw.
