White yarn is elegant and pure, so it’s perfect for baby blankets. Such neutral color will fit any nursery, so keep it in mind when looking for baby shower ideas! Baby blankets, especially handmade, have great sentimental value and are often passed from generation to generation. It’s important to create something that will be very unique and put a lot of love in the process of making! Whether you choose delicate and simple pattern or bold structural one, it’s all good. Be careful about choosing the right yarn – it must be soft, free from chemicals and suitable to have contact with baby skin. Take a look at examples below and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.
