I needed to make a baby blanket quickly this week. So quickly that I didn’t have time to buy yarn. I used up most of what I had left of my cotton/acrylic blend Comfy Worsted Yarn, which is why it has so many different colors around the edge. I really like that this yarn has so many bright colors. This is a very simple blanket to make, it’s almost all simple rectangles and circles.
The fun part about this blanket is that you can have little dolls fit into the train. Just don’t sew the upper edges of each cart and the engine.
Here is a close up of the little dolls. The general pattern is bellow. You can also make ears similar to the pattern for the arms to make a bunny.
