Presto Cango Baby Sweater

Every once in a while I run across a baby knitting pattern that is truly ingenious. This is one of those patterns. It is almost like having a self-cleaning baby LOL. This sweater is made so that if baby spits up, drools or spills you can just swap out the dirty part of the sweater and you are good-to-go. How cool is that?
The buttoned front section is like a built in bib that you just unbutton, remove and replace with a clean section. That way you can rinse out the soiled section, hang to dry and have it ready for the next mess.

The No-Sew Baby Blanket

No Sew Fleece Baby Blanket

This is the easiest and warmest baby blanket you can make. All you need is polar fleece fabric and a sharp pair of scissors. No sewing necessary.

You will need:

Two 1/12 yard pieces of polar fleece fabric (or whatever size you wish to make)

Directions:

Cut two rectangles of polar fleece 4-5 inches larger than the finished blanket size.

Place fabric on top of each other with right sides facing out.

Using a ruler to make sure your cuts are even, use sharp scissors to cut 4-5 inch deep fringe around the outer edges of fabric. I usually space the cuts 1/2 inch apart.

Now all you have to do is tie a double knot in the fabric fringes tying the two layers together. The result will be a double layered fleece blanket with a frilly edge.
