Weave in all Yarn ends on crocheted and knitted blankets

Secure the batting into outer seams. If the blanket is tied, please anchor it every 4 to 6 inches, cutting ties to 1 inch or less in length.

Single Layer no sew blankets are all we need.

Pre-wash all fabric that might cause problems with bleeding and or shrinking

Use new, clean, washable materials in infant, child or teen friendly colors (remember these blankets are meant to be colorful, cheerful and cuddly)

Make Blankets from 100% cotton fabric, flannel, fleece or acrylic yarn

Check you blankets carefully for straight and safety pins. It is better you find them and not the child.

Don't make your blankets out of wool or wool blend yarns
Don't use yarns that have metallic threads
Don't attach buttons or decorative items to a blanket - choking hazard
Don't use Sharpies or decorative markers on the blankets - only use permanent fabric markers made specifically for fabric
Don't use fabric that has been stored in a damp area and has a musty smell. Mold spores may cause an allergic reaction in a child and is very difficult to remove from material
Don't use perfumed or fragrance products - these are also allergy concerns. These products include fabric softeners, detergent, softener sheets, plastic bags, and body perfumes.
Don't expose the blankets to pets

Blankets that smell of smoke or strong chemicals, have pet hair or fur cannot be accepted
Washing does not remove all of these factors - please use lint brushes or roller on blankets if they are covered in lint or thread.
PINS, PINS, PINS - Please double, triple check your blankets for pins
BE CREATIVE! - Keep in mind that children need blankets to cuddle and receive comfort from
