I finally made my grandson's weighted blanket. It's suppose to help keep him calm. Here is the wording I used on Facebook. My daughter said he loves it! If you can get a chance to make one, they are very easy to make. Also, it is very important to get the correct weight on the blanket. The weight should be 10% more than the childs' current weight. Take into account the polyfill and the fabric. I recommend weighing them both before measuring your ounces for your pellets. My blanket turned out 2 lbs heavier. So 6 lb all in all, not bad since his little body is only about 3 rows right now. The other two rows on each side of him probably lay off of him on the bed. Also, no pellets on the outside rows. This will make the weight more centered on the child. I hope these tips help you. They are the same tips as given by I love my kids.
Finished my grandson’s blanket tonight. I bought 60 inches of fabric at 44 inches wide. I sewed the edges and i got 43” x 58”. I used 7 x 8 rows. The 7 rows measures 6 1/8” and the 8 rows measured 7 1/4”. I also only filled the middle rows. 2 ounces each hole. Two handfuls of the polyfill. Happy sewing!!
As Always, Happy Stitching and Stamping!!
