American Girl No-Sew Doll Blanket (Afghan)

Winter is here! Even an American Girl doll needs a blanket.

Learn how to make a no-sew afghan (or use as a blanket) for an 18” doll or American Girl Doll by watching this video and reading on for step-by-step instructions.

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

2 pieces of fabric 18” x 20” to 22”
Scissor

NOTE ABOUT FABRIC:
The best type of fabric for this project is fleece or flannel. You will need a ½ yard to make one blanket with the same design on both sides. Or if you want the blanket with two different fabrics, you will have to purchase 1/2 yard of each fabric and you can make 2 blankets.

INSTRUCTIONS:

STEP 1:
From the fleece or flannel fabric, cut two pieces 18" x 20 to 22".

STEP 2:
Place the two pieces of fabrics with wrong sides together making sure the outside edges are even all the way around.

STEP 3:
With the scissor, cut a square from each corners 2” x 2”.

STEP 4:
Cut slits around all four outside edges 2” long and about ½” apart.

STEP 5:
Pick up two corresponding pieces (one from front and one from back) and tie a knot. Continue doing this all the way around the blanket.

The blanket is done and ready to keep your American girl doll warm.

Make a matching blanket for yourself.
