Second Opinion on Baby Blanket

[fc1123]

ok I'm making my sister a baby blanket I was wondering does anyone think 29x47 would be big enough for the baby

Just for comparison, the one I'm making now will measure approximately 33" x 42". I have another blanket that someone gave me that is 30" wide, and it is fine.

ok thanks my dad and my fiance said that 29x47 would be big enough but wasn't sure since this is my first time making a baby blanket so I'm nervous and excited at the same time. lol

28" to 36" square is adequate for a newborn,

Crib size is 30" X 36"

and toddlers to young children is 42" X 48"

so I think you have it covered...

Smaller blankets are best for carseats and strollers. You don't want bulk in a carseat and if it's too big in a stroller it drags.

I tend to make baby blankets on the smaller side so that the baby, if he or she reallllllly loves it, wants to keep it and use it all the time....so I make them the size to cover the baby only and no more; but that's me
