Fleece blankets are very easy to make–
–there is absolutely NO sewing involved!
What’s more, you can pick any pattern you like from your local fabric store. Fleece is usually inexpensive, but depending on the size of the blanket, it may get
expensive to ship, so think twice before mailing your missionary a new comforter for his king-size bed. Best to keep the size modest, but still warm.
In case you’ve never made a fleece blanket, I found step-by-step instructions at the following blog:
