Blanket Guidelines

Make a blanket with love and care.

Please follow these general guidelines for blankets donated through the Manatee County Chapter.

General Guidelines

Please triple check for pins.
No pet hair, dander, mildew, mold, or odors due to allergies.
No wool or wool blend fabrics/yarn due to allergies.
No add-ons such as gems, tassels, ribbons, or buttons that can be easily removed and pose a choking hazard.
For knitted or crocheted blankets, consider using a tighter weave for smaller blankets for infants/toddlers to help prevent injury to fingers and toes.
If tying quilts, please use embroidery thread rather than yarn for extra security.
Please do not tie infant quilts.

Blanket Sizes

Our Manatee County Chapter currently donates to charities that request throw and twin sized blankets.

Blanket Type	Preferred Size
Throw	50” x 65” preferred; anything sized 48” x 56” to 60” x 72” is greatly appreciated.
Twin	70” x 90” or larger.
Baby	Accepted on a case-by-case basis. Please reach out first.

Current note: The organizations we are donating to currently request NO fleece/minky. This may change and will be announced if updated.

Who these blankets are for

These blankets are primarily going to tweens and teenagers ages 12+. These are children who have very little, one of which will be their Project Linus blanket. Please keep fabric choices and patterns in mind. Regardless of what you donate, know that it will be loved. Thank you!
