These swaddle blankets are my absolute favorite thing for a summer newborn. While I love the blankets my mom made, they are bit warm for the summer. The gauzy material is a combination of being cozy and super lightweight, so you don't have to worry about the baby getting overheated. They also offer the perfect amount of stretch to give you a tight swaddle with wiggle room for the babe.
The material is Island Breeze Gauze, and there are a variety of colorful choices. The other thing I love about these swaddle blankets is they are multi-functional. I used them as a swaddle blanket, burp cloth, nursing cover, blanket for the baby to lay on, you name it. Oh, and Ivy particularly loves them as capes.
Did I mention that not only is the material perfect, but they are oh-so easy to make? All you have to do is take a yard of cotton gauzy material and either serge or hem the edges. Easy or what?
They are a great baby shower gift. They are cute, practical, handmade and it didn't even take hours upon hours to make. Win-win-win!
P.S. Isn't my little model just the cutest? A big thanks to my friend Jenni for lending me her new baby girl!
