Do you like easy projects? Seriously, this is the easiest Cuddle® blanket that you can make for yourself or as a gift!

When I was brand new to sewing, a friend of mine was having a baby.  I wanted to make her a blanket but all the tutorials I found at that time had bindings, bias tape, etc. and scared the heck out of me!  I finally just tried my hand at some basic sewing techniques and her blanket turned out great!  I even made a fast printout if you are new to sewing and want to start with this simple project.  [Click here to download the PDF!](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2tg725V_W7YSWZDMjhEa0F4NlU/edit?usp=sharing)

 A yard of Shannon Studio Cuddle® fabric is 60 inches wide so when you order 1 yard it makes the perfect size for a baby blanket!  I made this blanket by taking a yard of the [Cuddle Dimple® in Red](https://www.shannonfabrics.com/cuddle/embossed/cuddle-sup-reg-sup-dimple-br-red) and a yard of the Red/Snow Chevron (this has since been discontinued but you can use another fabric of your choice)- cutting them each in half so I had 30"x36" for my blanket!
