Modern knitted baby blankets are bold, graphic and sleek. They use contrasting colors or simplified motifs, while still keeping the vibe of calm and delicate nursery.
It’s a great choice for minimal interior, so if you are thinking about baby shower gift for some minimalists, there are a lot of amazing ideas. White walls and simple furniture make these blankets pop with color and bring fun vibes. Handmade items are lovely sentimental pieces that we cherish for years and happily pass on through generations. Make one for someone you love and make memories!
