Quantity:

A small blanket to knit for baby or as a lap throw in three sizes (carriage/sm crib or lap square/lg crib or lap square) featuring a stitch pattern that emulates a crocus patch in bloom. A deep garter border ensures the piece will lay flat and keep its shape through many washings, making this a practical, yet pretty gift to celebrate family milestones.
