Aside from the comforter, your baby also needs a crawling mat, and crocheted blankets are perfect for that purpose. Blanket LAURIN worked in Baby Smiles Easy Cotton is approx. 55 x 80 cm (22 x 31.5 in) large and the slightly thicker yarn in a DK weight and the crochet pattern with single crochet stitches provides a somewhat more robust fabric, creating a pretty and sturdy fabric for these first attempts of turning and moving around. The zigzag pattern looks the same from both sides and combining the colors is lots of fun. Maybe you will choose the colors along the decor of the baby´s room – or just opt for a bold and bright combination, as babies can only detect contrasts in the first few months.
