Make a Cozy Blanket: This project is a great way for you make cozy fleece blankets for the cats and kittens to curl up on while they await their forever homes.

Supplies
1. Sharp scissors for cutting cloth
2. Measuring tape
3. Fleece fabric: Machine-washable fleece in any color (solids preferred), or a printed pattern for one layer and a coordinating solid color for the other layer. One yard of fabric will make two large kitty blankets or four small ones.

INSTRUCTIONS:
To Make a Large Blanket
Cut two rectangles that are 17 to 18 inches wide by 28 to 29 inches long. Lay one rectangle on top of the other so they completely overlap. Cutting through both layers, cut a 3-inch square out of each corner, and discard them.

Cut slits 3 inches long by approximately 3/4 inch wide along all four sides. Make the cuts as even as you can. This will look like fringe. Tie individual fringes together, top layer fringe to bottom layer fringe, using double knots. To make it easier, you can skip tying every other fringe.

To Make a Small Blanket
Cut two rectangles that are 17 to 18 inches wide by 14 inches long. Follow the rest of the large-blanket directions above.

Oh my gosh! This is (insert your favorite off color word) amazing!
