A couple of weeks ago my mom gave me this yarn. I have been playing around with the puff stitch, and it makes a nice texture for a baby blanket. This Bernat Baby Blanket tiny yarn is really soft.
I like making blankets that will work for many years for a child, so this puff stitch baby blanket is 36″ x 44″. Double it over to wrap around a baby, use it to cover a stroller, or spread it out on the ground for baby to roll around on. As they get older it’s still a great size for them to cuddle up with.
