New babies are one of the loveliest excuses to get creative, and this blanket is a fab way to say hello to a little one.

We love this project’s bold stripes, not to mention the fact it’s easy to make, with a simple linen stitch used throughout. And who could resist that baby-friendly pom pom edging? Follow our colour combination, or switch up the shades to match your décor.
