Born to Ride Giant Swaddling Blanket

Description

Family lore has it that my husband's father bought him a motorcycle when he was born. Since someone had to ride it to keep it in good shape until the baby turned 16...well, you get the picture.

A cozy motorcycle-print blanket might be a more (ahem!) practical choice.

My oldest daughter wiggled out of her normal-sized receiving blankets within minutes, so I wised up and started making huge ones. This giant (39" x 39" square) flannel blanket is the perfect weight for year-round swaddling, and also works great as a nursing cover, changing pad, naptime carseat cover, security blanket, and all-purpose spill catcher.

100% cotton flannel, pre-washed, pre-shrunk, and probably pre-stroked by my two-year-old, who still insists on sleeping with hers. Made in a pet-free, smoke-free home.

Each blanket comes tied with a contrasting-color ribbon for easy gift-giving.
