Garter Blocks Baby Blanket: 5-Color Version Using Blue Sky Fibers Printed and Organic Cotton Worsted
Garter Blocks Baby Blanket: 5-Color Version Using Blue Sky Fibers Printed and Organic Cotton Worsted
The Design
Perfect in any baby’s room—whether modern, retro, romantic, or eclectic—this wee patchwork ‘blankie’ will always be a beloved gift. It’s simply knit in garter stitch strips (totally beginner-worthy!) so it’s an easy project to tote along and straightforward to assemble.
This adorable baby blanket is plush and wonderfully soft in Blue Sky Fibers’ Organic Cotton Worsted. Cotton is soft by nature and this fiber lets all that natural softness bounce right through its loose, 2-ply twist. With a springy-ness that’s reminiscent of wool and a fantastic range of deeply saturated colors and artistic, printed speckles (Printed Organic Cotton Worsted!), it’s 100% certified organic cotton and environmentally friendly.
