Making blankets with simple shapes can be a snap, and by snap I mean fairly simple. You start with what you want to make. I chose a tree.
Use soap or a fabric pencil to draw out the pattern. Cut loosely around it.
Pin it up into the desired shape.
For a pocket, take two layers of fabric. Draw, pin, and sew one side together.
I already had two layers of fabric attached. I knew that the top would be sealed by the top of the tree and decided the side and bottom would be sealed by sewing them onto the backing.
Flip your pocket inside out.
Pin into desire shape so that all the edges look nice.
Put the shapes together to see how they look.
Adjust. Now you have your simple shape and pocket to attach to the top of your blanket.
The next step is making the blanket top.
