Meet Farley the Blanket Buddy, a great owl friend for the little child in your life.

Farley is a soft, lightly textured blanket buddy, featuring stripes and a cute face.

Farley is knit both flat and in the round.

There is minimal seaming required, and he uses standard increases and decreases.

A blanket buddy like Farley is often a child’s first transitional object, a soft, familiar friend who brings comfort during naps, in new places, and in everyday little goodbyes.

Designed by Julie Anderson of The Byrd’s Nest, an early childhood educator with a Master’s in special education and more than 17 years of designing toys made to be loved.
