Hooded Baby Snuggler Blanket Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Hooded Baby Snuggler Blanket
 Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs

I designed The Hooded Baby Snuggler Blanket for a sweet

 friend that is about to have her first baby. She just let me

 know that she is having a boy. I am very happy and 

excited for her.

I designed this Snuggler remembering something similar

 that was given to me when I was having my first baby. 

I loved and used it quite a lot. It can swaddle the baby,

 as well as, used as a basic blanket, and a hood because

 we need to keep babies heads warm.

It's perfect for feeding time, cuddle time, as well as,

 tummy time.

The Blanket Measures 24 X 32 inches, it is intended for a 

newborn to about a 6 month baby. You can easily make it

  larger just by continuing the repeat row for as big as you

 would like.

I designed it with 2 different medium (4) weight

 acrylic yarns. The baby variegated yarn is Sundance

 Scramble in the Little Baby color. The Blue is I Love

 This Yarn from Hobby Lobby in the baby blue color.

The Blue is basically the trim and can changed to pink,

yellow or white to match the Blanket.
