This baby blanket pattern was created to celebrate the birth of my niece, Savannah. I wanted to make her a lovely, lightweight baby blanket which was large enough to hang over the top of her stroller or carrier to protect her from the sun and still allow air to move through. Summer babies need blankets too!

Jody Jones says

01/06/2013 at 2:18 PMThanks Jen 🙂 Shared your CAL with my page today too (on FB) – I love the pattern you picked for June! R
Rhondda Mol says
