Frosty colors that will keep you nice and toasty might seem like a contradiction. Maryfairy managed to combine those two opposite ideas into one beautiful version of a Hugs & Kisses Baby Blanket. As the hues are not too vibrant, but slightly dusty, the blanket’s texture gains some great depth. It will make a precious baby shower gift for that cute little boy that is about to arrive into this world.

This pattern is an updated version of a known and loved Hugs & Kisses baby blanket.
