Every baby deserves to be spoiled; being cuddled and swaddled in a handmade blanket (especially if it’s made by an aunt). This blanket has a rhythmic texture to it, and adding a simple slipped stitch pattern creates a stunning result.
Originally designed in 2018 for my niece, it never made it to publication.
Updated with a different yarn and better readability, I hope you’ll enjoy this pattern.
