ABOUT THE BLANKET:

I came up with an idea for this multipurpose crochet blanket with the thought of it being the baby’s favourite TOY TO PLAY and something to CUDDLE and KEEP WARM while sleeping. This crochet blanket is convenient when travelling either in a pram or a car seat. It’s not only SPACE SAVING (blanket and crochet cuddly toy and play mat), but it also keeps the baby occupied in both folded and unfolded form. It can be hung over the cot (and secured with a fastening) when not in use.
This Cuddle and Play 3 in 1 elephant crochet blanket will make a cute, original, and at the same time practical CROCHET BABY SHOWER GIFT.
