How do you make a simple fleece blanket (one piece of fleece on top and a different one on bottom) without cutting slits and tying them together? Is there a way to braid the two pieces of fabric together? Or maybe lace some ribbon or a skinny piece of fleece??I want to make one- I just dont like it when it is knotted or tied together.

I don't know the size of tube you require, but lots of goods nowadays come in aluminium tubesTry aerosols, make-up, hair sprays, paint, cigars etcCapacitors are also in small aluminium tubes.old TVs usually contain a few.
Yes, it involves crochetYou essentially lay the two layers of your blanket together and pin them so they don't shiftMake sure the edges are smooth and even Cut a long strip of fabric from a scrap left over from making your blanket layersYou will use this strip as your yarnThis can be done by cutting a circular piece of fabric in a spiral pattern until you get to the center of the circle, forming a very long strip of fabricPoke or punch holes of even spacing in your blanket all alone the edges about half an inch from the edge (so it doesn't rip easily)Make sure the holes are large enough for you to fit your fabric strip and crochet hook intoThen take the long strip of blanket material you cut earlier and crochet into those holes all along the edge until you get back to the beginningBind off and finish the ends in the most pleasing manner possibleTake out the pins and you're doneIf you don't want to crochet with blanket material, you could always just use a thick yarn of a matching color.
