Ohhh Baby!

What's soft, stunning, and oh so cuddly? A baby blanket from Jean May Originals, that's what! Perfect as a baby shower gift, my blankets are crocheted using the softest yarns in designs exclusive to JMO and are sure to become any child's favorite "blankie." Alot of love is weaved in with every stitch and the finished piece is a beautiful, handmade creation that will, with proper care,* provide warmth and comfort for years to come. My baby blankets can also be used as a lapghan by older children or adults in the home.

Baby Blanket in Buttercup

Baby blankets can be crocheted in a wide range of colors to complement any nursery. The blankets in the photos shown here were crocheted using the softest cotton yarn I have found so far. Due to the possibility of skin sensitives in infants, I prefer to use cotton yarn but will use an alternative fiber on occasion. This is my own personal design; I followed no pattern to create this item. Finished piece measures approximately 34"W x 38"L but size can vary depending on the yarn and/or hook used and whether or not I have my tape measure handy when the piece is started!
