Just Launched….The “Nautical Stripes” Baby Blanket
Blankets and Afghans . Patterns - Baby Blankets and Afghans . Patterns - Blankets and Afghans
Isn’t this cute? As a person who lives close to Lake Michigan and and inland lake, I love all things that give that nautical feeling. So, I felt that I wanted to make a summery baby blanket with that nautical feeling. The result of my efforts, the “Nautical Stripes” Baby Blanket was born! Can’t you just picture the baby swaddled in the stroller with this blanket! So sweet. If you would like to have your own “Nautical Stripes” Baby Blanket, here is the pattern. The blanket is free here on my blog, but if you would like it in an ad-free form, please check out my Ravelry Shop!!
Enjoy making this fun and adorable blanket!!
