Color Blanket for Baby

Color Blanket for Baby Weaving Kit Designed by Lynne Greaves for Handwoven, May/June 1993. Weave a keepsake filled with love and color for the little one in your life. This timeless baby blanket project uses the concept of a “color blanket”—a beautiful sampler where warp and weft stripes intersect to create a grid of vibrant color combinations. It’s both a cuddly comfort and a playful way for a child to begin discovering the world of color. Perfect for gifting or keeping as a family heirloom, this project is as meaningful as it is fun to weave.
