A Taggie Blankie for Cady
Okay, okay, I know this is yet another non-knitting project, but I thought I hadn’t posted in a while, so this will have to do!
I’ve noticed so many of these cute taggie blankies everywhere - from the farmer’s market, to in the hands of local babies all over town. I thought I’d make one for Cadence!
It was so easy and fun! I made mine with a flannel print on one side and a chocolate brown minkee fabric on the other. I cut my ribbon in three different lengths (4″, 5″ and 6″) and alternated ribbon patterns and sizes.
There’s a great tutorial on how to sew one here, at Mama’s Doodles blog.
I’d highly recommend this little project! I made one for Cadence and one for a friend’s shower in under an hour! Picking out the different ribbons was the funnest part, and the material and ribbons for three blankies cost under $30 (CDN). I read somewhere… baby’s love playing with the tags on their stuffed animals & toys more than the toys themselves, so why not make them a beautiful, sensory blankie packed full of silky taggies to play with?!

That is such a cute idea!
