Crochet 20 snuggable, huggable heirloom baby blankets, from best-selling author Val Pierce.

Create a gorgeous range of stash-busting keepsakes for your little ones to cuddle and cherish.

A handmade blanket is the perfect gift for a newborn or young child: ideal for that first journey home from the hospital; for keeping them cozy in a stroller; and for tucking them in at bedtime. Whether you prefer traditional colours and simple repeating motifs or want to experiment with appliqué, lacework and more, you’ll find a design to suit your taste:

• The blankets’ small size makes them quick and rewarding to make and great stash-busters.
• There are 20 easy-to-follow patterns, featuring an inspiring mix of techniques, with some suitable for even complete beginners.
• Clear conversion charts for crochet stitches and hooks included.

These meaningful, comforting keepsakes are designed to be loved, snuggled and then passed on to future generations.
