That's why this Fun and Hugs Baby Blanket has to be on your list of must-haves for when the baby arrives. This adorable, soft blanket is perfect for your child to stretch out on or for you to wrap your baby up in.

This is a fairly simple pattern. The yarn makes all the difference. I will work up quickly because of the size of the hook. I knit and crochet for charity so this will be perfect. The charity I work with will actually get the right yarn thanks to the contributions we get. Wonderful, huh?!! I will be able to put one more smile on someone's face. Thank you.
