The Design

“Bright patchwork.”

Perfect in any baby’s room—whether modern, retro, romantic, or eclectic—this wee patchwork ‘blankie’ will always be a beloved gift. It’s simply knit in garter stitch strips (totally beginner-worthy!) so it’s an easy project to tote along and straightforward to assemble.

This adorable baby blanket is plush and wonderfully soft in Blue Sky Fibers’ . Cotton is soft by nature and this fiber lets all that natural softness bounce right through its loose, 2-ply twist. With a springy-ness that’s reminiscent of wool and a fantastic range of deeply saturated colors and artistic, printed speckles (), it’s 100% certified organic cotton and environmentally friendly.
