Hearth Baby Blanket

There’s a quiet sweetness in the first handmade pieces created to welcome a new little one into the world. This blanket was designed with that spirit in mind: a simple, personal gesture, made by hand. At its center, a large letter framed by hearts — a tender symbol, but never too precious — worked in intarsia or added later with duplicate stitch on a flat-knit base. The suggested border is a subtle seed stitch, offering soft texture and balance, though experienced knitters may choose to swap it for a more intricate edge or a crochet finish. The pattern is approachable, even for those new to intarsia, and pared down enough to invite personal interpretation.
