REQUIREMENTS FOR KNIT/CROCHET BLANKETS

Basics:

  • All blankets must be new & handmade
  • No dimension smaller than 36” & none larger than 60”
  • Use colors that are child appropriate (predominately pastels & brights)
  • No “wool” yarn – children have allergies & it doesn’t wash well
  • No yarn fringe – children will chew on it & could choke
  • No holiday patterns on fleece or quilts (this may be their only blanket)

Preparing blankets after complete:

  • Be sure all yarn loose ends are woven in .
  • Be sure all loose threads are trimmed off on quilts (they can wrap around little fingers)
  • Wash & dry blankets – no fabric softener, dryer sheets or strong smelling detergent (again allergies)
  • Measure blanket & record approximate dimensions on Project Linus tag (available at meetings)
  • Add your name on the tag if you want but you don’t have to
  • Sew on (do not glue) satin “Project Linus” label (available at meetings)

Folding & tying blankets to turn in:

  • Fold blankets so that they aren’t “floppy” into a compact square or rectangle. For your tie, we prefer a crocheted yarn “chain” using at least 2 yarn strands so that it is sturdy enough to secure the folded blanket (one strand of yarn or even 2 of baby yarn isn’t strong enough)
  • Wrap tie around one way, cross on the opposite side & wrap the tie around the other two sides so that all four sides are secure. (like a gift package)
  • Thread the tie through the Project Linus tag & slide it down so it is secure against the blanket & tie again (tags attached to the end of the tie cause a problem when packing)
