Free! Receiving Blanket: Part 1 - YCST Project

When I was having babies of my own, the most treasured gifts I received were handmade items from my sweet friends or family members. My mom always made a special blanket or quilt for each child. After many months and years of use, a few of my kids still adore them, and turn to them as comfort items. Some I have tucked away for safe keeping to pass along to them when they have children of their own!

This month, we have for you a receiving blanket pattern, and we hope that you'll take the opportunity to create something meaningful for a special mom or baby in your life. It is sure to be a treasured gift that your loved one will enjoy using!

This blanket pattern is the first part of a two-part series of baby gift patterns offered from You Can Sew This. (Watch for a coordinating burpie pattern to follow next month!) Although the blanket pattern is simple and works up quickly, it is highly versatile! You can create three different styles according to the fabrics and trim that you use. I'll show you how to construct blankets with three different edgings: jumbo rick-rick, piping, and ribbon.

Happy Sewing! -Shelli
