This baby blanket has two decorative sides, a pure cotton and fleece build and a delicate crochet edge. It measures 100 x 70 cm and works as a blanket, swaddle, throw or stroller cover for newborns. Patterns include koala, airplane, bow tie, dinosaur and flowers.
A baby blanket sounds like a simple purchase, but thin ones are cold, thick ones are heavy and pretty ones are hard to wash. Parents end up with several, none quite right.
What people like about a two-sided blanket is that it does more than one job. The cotton side is soft and light, the fleece side is warmer for cooler days and the crochet edge gives it a handmade look. You can use it in the stroller, at home or as a wrap, and it looks good in photos.
When comparing baby blankets, check softness, size and how many uses it has. At 100 x 70 cm it is large enough to wrap a newborn and still fits in a diaper bag.
If you want one blanket that covers many situations, a reversible cotton and fleece design is a practical choice. It is also a thoughtful baby gift. Follow safe-sleep guidance and keep loose blankets out of the crib.
