I belonged to a ladies church group who were making lap robes for the
wheelchair bound at a local nursing home. The nursing home requested
polyknits such as you mentioned as useless because nothing stained them,
they never wore out and they were just enough to protect from drafts and
chills when backed with a cotton without any batting or fill.
the poly knits were cut into 4 or six inch squares and sewed into about
a 2'x3' or 2.5'x3' cover backed with a cotton which is also used for
ties. there were yarn ties at each corner or maybe the center of each
square and that was it!
