Doll Blanket Pattern - Supplies

What you need

• FABRIC - Cotton Quilting Fabric - For this doll blanket you can use 2 fat quarters or just cut 2 pieces of fabric that are 18" x 22" (46cm x 56cm)
• BASICS - Needle and Thread
• TRIM - Lace or trim to decorate
• FLEECE - Fleece to give the blanket some thickness and body. You could also substitute a quilting batting (wadding) or even a scrap of any thick soft fabric such as flannelette.

Doll Blanket Pattern - Instructions

STEP 1 - Baste the Fleece

On the WRONG side of one of the fabric pieces, baste the fleece or batting close to the edges.

You can do this with your machine on the longest straight stitch (normally 4.0) or by hand with a running stitch.

STEP 2 - Stitch the Front and Back

Put your fabric pieces RIGHT sides together and stitch around the edges with a ¼ inch (6mm) seam allowance.

Leave a 2 inch (5cm) gap on one of the shorter sides.

STEP 3 - Clip

Clip the corners being careful not to cut the stitching.

STEP 4 - Turn and Press

Turn the blanket the right way out through the gap and give it a good press. Hand stitch the gap closed using an invisible ladder stitch.

STEP 5 - Quilting Stitching

To give your doll blanket pattern some texture, stitch some quilting lines down it. Start in the middle and stitch every 2 inches (5cm).

STEP 6 - Decorate

Add some lace along one side and you are all done!

Here is what my finished doll blanket pattern looks like.
