This is one of the cuddle blankets I took to Tehran for my youngest nephew, he is only 3 months old and totally adorable and loved sucking on his cuddly blanket :sm02:

Have you ever thought of making 2 identical buddies? Then one can be washed [or lost, or left at nursery] without a meltdown at bed time?

Good idea, I should have done that as I had two the same colours for the polar bears :sm03:

What yarn did you use? I can't imagine sucking on yarn...don't the babies get a mouthful of fabric and fuzz?

I used Lily's Sugar and Cream which is 100% cotton, perfectly good to chew on.

I've got a picture of my grand -niece chewing on a dishcloth I made of this yarn .
... her grandmother (SIL) had them in a lower drawer in the kitchen and she loved them.... blankies for her stuffed animals, etc.
She'd sometimes take one with her when she went down for a nap at their house.
So easy to wash.

How lovely :sm01: Little ones love something soft to chew on don't they? That's why I recommend these blankets are knitted in cotton.

I was just going to mention cotton yarn. It's like them chewing on a washcloth.

It was you who put me onto Lily's Sugar and Cream Karen, great that it's now available in the UK :sm02:

Thank you :sm02:

Lovely Polar Bear Cuddle blanket, Pat! Love the colours you have used for the blanket! ????

Thank you Letitia, I thought it looked like icy water :sm01:

I love this Polar Bear. It's a toss up for me whether to make him or the kitty cat. Your patterns are ever delightful Pat, we're so lucky to have you as a designer on KP.

Not the koala?? Now I designed that especially for my Aussie friends lol!

 

[Gypsycream]

Well now you mention it, the little baby is half Aussie but I don't think his mother likes ANYTHING Australian! Perhaps I should just test her. Food for thought now!! I have to say that Polar bears are probably everyone's favourite though!

lol! in that case don't go rocking that boat Leanna! I've had first hand experience of mixed marriages remember lol!

Thank you everyone

 

[Gypsycream]

That is just darling! I got the pattern today!!! I can't wait to start my polar bear. I love Lily's Sugar N' Cream Yarn!!! Now I have something else I can use the Yarn for!! Thank you, Pat!!!

Aww thank you :sm02: I like Lily's Sugar and Cream but it does seem a bit stiff to knit with, does it soften after washing?

 

[Gypsycream]

As soon as I saw this, I went straight to Craftsey and ordered it. Can't wait to do the little boy and girl.

Thank you :sm02:
