Basket Weave Baby Afghan in Natural Cotton

Basket Weave Baby Afghan in Natural Cotton

Description

When my cousin was expecting, I made her a blanket, as our grandmother had retired from making the family's baby blankets, due to her hands. To substitute for the knowledge and talent of another grandmother's hands, I offer this blanket.

This small blanket is simple and elegant, and features the natural softness and color of cotton. Cotton yarn and the stitch spacing create warmth without too much weight and breathability. Cotton is also a natural alternative to synthetic fabrics made from plastic and petroleum bases, for those who choose to avoid such products.

The basket weave texture is a photogenic one and the cream color with tiny brown flecks is a lovely complement to many color themes and looks very classic. It sidesteps the pastel colors found in a lot of baby items and this translates into a blanket that can be kept for a long time. Treated with care, it will be around to wrap another generation.

Though it would make an excellent baby gift, this blanket mustn't be limited to babies; a nap taker of any age could snuggle with it on a lazy afternoon.

If you like the texture but need a different color, please message me. I will do my best to track down the perfect yarn for you.

Dimensions: 36" x 36"

Care: Machine wash on delicate in a lingerie bag or pillowcase/Hand wash. Air dry.

Crocheted with care in a pet and smoke free environment.
