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!

Thank you 🙂 It is pretty light-weight – when my Mom asked me to make it for my new niece she asked for a lighter weight one since she is a spring/summer baby.
