No Longer a Member | I know exactly what you need! I got a snugglie from yorkies inc. They are a shop that supports a yorkie rescue in New England. Everything is handmade and very reasonably priced. Chloe loves her pink snugglie. http://www.yorkiesinc.com/yorkieshoppe.htm |

| graciegirl, the snugglies are the easiest blankets to make in the world. No sewing at all. Just two same size fleece (different colors work cutiest) cut same size strips about 4" all the way around, then tie one going one way and the next tie going the other direction. This way each side will have the opposite color strip. I did a couple red plaid on one side and white on the other. On the red plaid side it shows white strips and on the white side it shows the red plain strips. |

| I also use a square of fleece for blankets. You can get two blankets from a yard of cloth. Or if you want one like is advertised in the catalog, you can take the two sections and lay one section on top of the other, cut about 2-3 inch slits about an inch apart. Tie each section (top & bottom) together in a knot until you have a fringe all the way around the blanket. If you want fancy, you could get a plain, complementing color for your bottom layer. The hobby and sewing goods stores were selling sets of cloth to make these blankets only larger (throw sized) just a couple of years ago. |
