Loom Knitting Baby Blanket Part 2
The Arts | Available (Membership Required)
There are many uses for this small blanket; you can donate it to the Linus Project – fire responders and police give it to children who have been in a fire or accident to comfort them. The other project is a shrug, which is a shawl with short sleeves. This item has been very popular with nursing home residents and others who need a little something on their shoulders during our “cool” winters or to avoid drafts while in highly air conditioned areas. The yarn we use is soft, light weight and washable. For these projects the yarn we use must be BERNAT BABY BLANKET.
