A snoozle is described as snuggle, cuddle, nestle, nuzzle and all those things one does with a baby and a blanket. Each one is a chance to breathe in the precious scent of love and comfort.

You start with a nursery full of possibilities. Mom chooses her palette of colors with the future in mind, even though she hasn’t met her precious one, but yet she still knows just what to pick.

The chevrons add a bit of geometric interest, but are relieved from being too stark by adding some eyelets. Eyelets and ridges from beginning to end can soften the look or highlight it. Choose whatever works within your dreams and visions of your nursery, because it is yours to create.

Needle: US 7 / 4.5 mm circular 40 in / 100 cm or longer. A long circular needle is recommended in order to accommodate the large number of stitches.
