Backing a blanket

I’m wanting to back my blanket once knitted, what’s the best material to do this please?

It depends on how warm you want it to be. I’ve used a fine wale corduroy and also cotton. For the blankets I was knitting, I didn’t want any more bulk and they were warm enough as is.

Here’s a nice tutorial for adding a backing in case it helps:

Thank you. I had a difficult time finding a print at our local fabric store but then I went to a quilt supply store and there were fabrics galore!

You might want to try flannel for a backing. I find knitted blankets slide of the bd in the middle of the night. Flannel doesn’t slid off.
