    If you can call it a “doll blanket” then, wouldn’t that give it use for dolls?? Wonderful design!

  3. It has use. I had a preemie ( she survived and is now 4)
    Thye cannot regulate their body temp, and must be extremely bundled for the parents to get any precious holding time.

  4. Excellent Pattern and great for charity crafts

  5. I just have to comment to “nreadd’s” comment – Preemies in the hospital really need these pretty blankets. I crochet for Threads of Love and this will be a perfectly beautiful pattern to crochet & donate to NICUs. Thank you so much!
