A warm blanket in the chilling cold would be the perfect thing you could make for your little ones to beat the winters. If crocheting bothers you and the thought of a needle compels you to give up your idea, then you could opt for loom knitting. If you are a beginner, a round loom will be apt, but make sure it is not less than 24 pegs, else it would be too small for your blanket. While choosing the yarn it is always preferable to go for cotton or acrylic varieties as their soft, durable nature would suit your baby’s skin well.
