What size should a newborn baby blanket be?
The bonniemob knitted baby blankets are around 75 x 95cm — generous enough that one carries from Moses basket through to toddler bed rather than needing replacing at each stage.
What is the difference between a knitted baby blanket and a muslin swaddle?
A knitted blanket is for warmth and settles softly over a pram, cot or lap. A muslin swaddle is a lighter open weave, cut large enough to wrap a newborn. Different jobs — most people want one of each.
Are the baby blankets organic cotton?
Yes, GOTS certified organic cotton throughout — certified across the whole chain, from fibre through dyeing and finishing to the working conditions behind them.
Can I have a knitted baby blanket personalised?
Yes — see the personalised baby blankets, embroidered with a name in green, pink, blue or red, up to ten characters, gift boxed as standard.
Is a knitted blanket a good newborn gift?
It's the classic one — no sizing to guess, useful from the first day, and it's often the blanket that gets kept. Pair one with a knitted hat for a complete gift.
How do I wash a knitted baby blanket?
Machine wash at 30 on a wool or delicate cycle and dry flat. Knitted blankets should not be tumble dried: heat and tumbling shrink and felt knitted cotton, and lift the surface so colour dulls. Dried flat, a blanket keeps its shape and colour for years.
