Babies love bright, cheery colours, so the Liliwen Baby Blanket is sure to please. Worked in a beautifully soft cotton yarn, it is a perfect weight for the summer.
The pattern includes three sizes so you can make a small blanket for baby’s first Moses Basket / Bassinet or either of the two larger sizes as they grow into their next sizes of bed. There are also two different colourways: a little girl’s blanket in candy pink and yellow, or one for a boy in bright blue and aqua. . For more details, please see below .
