Cozy Quick Blankie

When my daughter, Coco, was born, one of my friends gave her an incredible hand-me-down blanket made of cozy, natural cotton fleece on one side and lovely, soft chambray on the other. It is trimmed with rick rack which gives it just the right amount of playfulness. Coco is now three and she still loves this blanket as do I.

Since receiving this hand-me-down, I have always had that nagging feeling that I should probably return it to my friend sooner rather than later.  Because Coco and I BOTH love it so much, I knew this would be a sad moment.  What a dilemma!  Solution- I decided to make one of our own.  If you'd like to make this blanket too, please visit my Cozy Quick Blankie Project Journal. --Page

p.s. If you love the print in the background as much as I do, you can see more work by the artist Tess Darrow at her website, Egg Press.

The blanket is lovely... But I must know about that lamb! Is it handmade or puchased?

[Jennifer]

That blanket looks lovely and cosy. The ric-rac detail really makes it.

Those are super cute, I have some oraganic wool knit I'm going to use to make this.

The lamb was a gift for Coco when she was born. It is a Steiff animal. Read about the wonderful world and history of Steiff at this link:
