Newborn Blanket Drive

It's that time of year again, blanket time!

 I will be collecting warm newborn sized blankets for our winter delivery. I am aiming for the first week of February.

Sizes: 30" X 30" and larger.

Blankets can be knit, crochet or fleece. Think warm, no holey patterns.  I will include some pattern links, check back as I will be adding more as I find them.

Pattern Suggestions:

X Box Stitch Afghan

Box Shell Afghan

Twin Stitch Baby Blanket

Hugs for Baby Blanket  (this is one of my favorites to make)
