home sweet home
home sweet home
We wrap our babies tightly like burritos when they come home from the hospital, drape a blanket over them in the stroller, and cover them as we kiss them goodnight in their cribs. A blanket is the classic gift to welcome a baby, something that will be used every day for years. Home Sweet Home is grand heirloom to welcome a baby home. It is a bold geometric puzzle of a pattern featuring iconic house silhouettes rendered in simple knit-purl textures.
This pattern is part of the 10 TINY KNITS collection. It is available to purchase as a single pattern or as part of the ebook collection.
