A soft, cosy blanket is one of the most important items you’ll buy for your baby. Whether you’re preparing for your own newborn or searching for the perfect gift, finding the right baby blanket ensures comfort, warmth, and peace of mind.
With so many styles, sizes, and materials available, it can feel overwhelming to know which blanket is best—especially for tiny or premature babies. That’s why we’ve put together this simple, parent-friendly guide to help you choose the perfect handmade baby blanket for your little one.
Why Choosing the Right Blanket Matters
Babies have delicate skin, sensitive to harsh fabrics and poor-quality materials. A soft, breathable blanket keeps them warm, comfortable, and safe—whether they’re sleeping, travelling, or snuggled in your arms.
At Granny Knotts, our handmade baby blankets are crafted with love, using gentle materials designed for comfort from day one.
5 Things to Consider When Choosing a Baby Blanket
1️⃣ Material Matters
Always opt for soft, breathable fabrics that are gentle on your baby’s skin. Good options include:
✔ Organic cotton
✔ Soft crochet yarns
✔ Bamboo blends
Our Granny Knotts blankets are made from carefully selected materials perfect for newborns and premature babies.
2️⃣ The Right Size
Baby blankets come in different sizes for different uses:
Premature Baby Blankets: Smaller to avoid bunching, ideal for hospital use or tiny babies
Newborn Blankets: Perfect for swaddling, pram rides, or cot naps
Multi-Purpose Blankets: Larger options for everyday comfort at home
3️⃣ Breathability & Safety
Overheating is a common concern for babies. Choose lightweight, breathable blankets that provide warmth without trapping heat. Handmade crochet designs are ideal for airflow while keeping your baby snug.
4️⃣ Practicality & Care
Look for easy-care blankets that are machine washable and durable. Babies can be messy—your blanket should be ready to handle spills, dribbles, and everyday use.
5️⃣ A Handmade Touch
Handmade blankets aren’t just beautiful—they’re crafted with love, unique designs, and attention to detail. You’ll know your baby is wrapped in something made especially for them.
Bonus Tip: Blankets for Premature Babies
Premature babies often need extra-soft, carefully sized blankets to suit their tiny bodies and medical needs. Our Granny Knotts premature baby blankets are designed with softness, warmth, and size in mind—keeping your little one comfortable in hospital or at home.
