Pic 1: Cut the corners 8.5cm x 8.5cm
Cut "fingers" 7.5cm deep, from both sides to
middle
Pic 2: Pin fleece together and fold fingers over.
Put scissor "deep" into finger and give
very small cut
Pic 3: Fold fingers back and pull top finger
through little hole on bottom finger
Pic 4: Just show you top finger becomes bottom finger
Pic 5: Pull new top finger through bottom finger
Pic 6: Pull nicely and there you have the perfect corner as well.
You are going to work with contrasting colours!!!! Remember wrong sides together and what would be the back of your blanket, will be on top while working AND do not pull to fleece, just brush
I hope to see some of your blankets coming week.

My pleasure. My sister is bring her material to me so I can do the blanket on the plane. I am leaving for the UK tomorrow evening.
Are you cutting before you leave - or will you have access to a pair of scissors? There are so many things not allowed - I want to carry a ball of crochet cotton and ?one crochet hook but am wary of doing so.
Enjoy your trip Hugs Elizabeth

Thank you MUFLOTEX. Here is a link that I found on the inhttp://www.projectlinus.org/patterns/pdf/NoSewFB.pdfternet. I think the Cuties in the USA know about the Linus projects

I recently went to Pittsburgh, Pa. Flew, and carried my afghan crochet hook and told them what it was and they said "No Problem" and I kept it on the plane with me. Hugs, Judy
