Great Grandma will be 93 at the end of September! She lives in New Hampshire, which gets exceedingly cold in the winter, so I tied up a fleece blanket for her. The back is actually a purple, which looked like a closer match in the store to the shading on the coffee cups...
These blankets are pretty easy to do and very warm! You need two pieces of fleece, each about 2 yards long. Lay them together backside to backside - the goal being a square or rectangle. Cut a four-inch square at each corner, then cut slices about 1 - 1 1/2 inches thick and four"ish" inches long down each side then tie the pieces together in a knot. I only cut a few at a time, taking turns going from each corner - it keeps the blanket straighter.
Easy gift idea :-)
