Making unique baby blanket isn’t that hard. Basic rectangular pieces are great, but I recommend you taking a look at other ideas to get more inspiration. Today I chose for you designs that have beautiful star shape, which makes them very unusual.
Here you can play with colors – you can go for plain yellow for a sun-like look, or try making colorful stripes. It’s all up to you! You can also add applique, such as flowers or planets, and make it themed. These designs are great for beginners, so try them today! Search for links to free patterns under the pictures below.
