This little blanket is light and warm, making it perfect for keeping tiny babies snug while they are resting on your lap or in your arms. Because it is delicate and subtle in both the pattern and the design, it also makes a wonderful photography prop. It will add a beautiful textural element to any baby portraits without taking over the photo!

A gently ruffled border gives this little blanket a clean finish (and even better, it’s knitted in the round so it doesn’t need to be sewn on or seamed!).

The simple stitch pattern and the loft of the mohair (which allows for a looser gauge and lovely fabric drape) means that this blanket knits up quickly. It’s also inexpensive, using only a little over two balls of wool!
