This wrap can also be used at a baby stroller blanket especially using the washable Comfort yarn. The finished measurements are 21.5” x 53” so if you make a stroller blanket only work till the piece measures 33”. You will use less yarn too…think 4 skeins instead of 5.

We go to the beach in the late afternoon and I always get chilled when the sun starts to go down. I wanted to create a shawl that would provide a bit of warmth, be lightweight, washable and still look pretty. I am not a big fan of acrylic yarn; however, Berroco’s comfort is a pleasure to knit with and perfect for the beach. This design could easily be transfered into a blanket. I hope this brings you comfort and warmth. xo
