This instructional DIY was found on “Pop Sugar” and you can do as little or much embellishment as you like. I prefer a plainer blanket with a little embellishment although this blanket is absolutely lovely, and has a romantic, gypsy look. The perk of making this beauty is doing what you like for your home or a gift. You will need 8 to 10 wool (cashmere, lamb’s wool, merino, etc.) sweaters for this project. You will want to felt the sweaters. Do this by tossing them in a hot washer with a pair of jeans (the jeans will help the sweaters to felt up better). Then, dry in a hot dryer. You’ll have shrunken tight-fibered sweaters when you’re done. When you cut the pieces for the blanket no edges fray and stitch the pieces together the way you like; by machine or hand stitch. If you would like to try this method try a pillow cover first. TUTORIAL HERE!
