Sew a Baby Receiving Blanket

You will need for this baby receiving blanket:
1 yard or 2 yards for double sided receiving blanket




These are easy instructions on how to sew a blanket.

Cut material into 36 x 36 inch squares. For a one sided blanket, which is often how a receiving blanket is made, use only one square. Turn edge down  ½ inch and ½ inch again. Pin in place and sew around edges, taking out the pins as you go.

~Try a decorative stitch around sides for fun.

For a double sided receiving blanket, use two squares. Place right sides together and sew three edges. Turn right sides out and turn remaining edge in. Pin. Top stitch around all edges.



You can also do this with fleece material. Cut a 36x36 inch square and hem edges as directed above for a one sided blanket or blanket stitch around the edges.
