Beautiful baby blankets - gorgeous baby blankets and swaddle cloths including free patterns ...Baby blankets are special.

My 5 year old still takes hers to bed every night and I wore my own into pieces I loved it so much!

So it is worth taking the time to find something gorgeous you’ll be happy to have as a permanent member of your household 🙂

Luckily there are loads of beautiful baby blankets now available in contemporary colour ways rather than just the same old pink and blue. Hurrah!

To help you find something you’ll really love, I’m sharing this collection of beautiful baby blankets I helped a pregnant friend put together recently.

There’s a whole bunch from our absolute fave baby boutiques on Etsy and Not On the High Street. Plus we’ve found some gorgeous cheap and free baby blanket patterns. So if like us, you can’t knit or crochet for toffee but know a grandma who can, you can get the exact colour combo you want.

The form you have selected does not exist.
