Baby blankets are a must for any new born, providing that extra layer of warmth for when they’re asleep in their cot, out for a walk in a pushchair or on the move in a car seat. They also provide babies with a feeling of security, quickly becoming their preferred item to touch and feel. Safe to say, a crochet blanket that turns into a toy when folded and even works as a playmat becomes even more loveable still, as a 3-in-1 item any baby will cherish!
