From the first car journey to an outing in a buggy, a knitted blanket will accompany a baby wherever they go. Laura Strutt has designed a teddy bear travel blanket that cleverly folds away into a pillow and a hooded wrap for keeping cosy in a sling. For the nursery there is a soft cot cover and a dungaree-style sleeping bag in breathable merino wool – perfect for a peaceful night’s rest. For playtime, there’s a cotton-backed blanket that can double up as a rug to take out and about and a tiny comforter blanket guaranteed to become their closest companion. With beautiful yarns, simple techniques and stunning designs, there is a blanket here ready for you to make and for the new arrival to treasure for years to come.

35 Knitted Baby Blankets is a fantastic new edition of the previously published title by the same name.
