Add Fleece to Crochet Projects | BEGINNER | The Crochet Crowd

I have was heavily inspired by the Troublemakers, they call themselves that, from Arizona that are part of Project Linus and have been for many, many years. 

They were telling me that a lot of their work comes from using Fleece to crochet borders around fleece to hand out to children in need. When we think of children in need, we think hospitals but Project Linus is much more than that. Blankets could be in the back of a police cruiser with a child being pulled out of a home due to domestic violence. We have been supporting Project Linus initiatives for years but these 3 ladies inspired me so much to try to do crochet around fleece. 

They save their chapter money and go into Joann Fabrics and Crafts to stock up on Fleece. These ladies, along with many others around North America cut up the fleece and crochet around the borders to stockpile them for Project Linus. 

The tutorial shown below is demonstrating how to apply fleece to the back of an existing blanket. In the steps I demonstrate how to prepare the fleece to apply a border. The tutorial goes on to show you how to attach it to an existing blanket.
