Stone Shell Stitch Knitted Cotton Baby Blanket by Bengali Collections

Shell stitch is one of those old knitting patterns that never really dates, and here it gives a plain stone blanket real depth. The texture catches the light, the colour goes with everything, and it is generous enough to still be useful long after the newborn photos. Woven from 100% pure cotton, it is exceptionally soft, breathable and lightweight for its warmth. Made using Oeko-Tex® certified cotton, so the fabric is free from harmful substances, and it machine washes for everyday use rather than being saved for best. It is part of our Bengali Collections range. What size is it? Generously sized at 100 x 120cm. Is it warm enough for winter? It is a lightweight knit, so it layers rather than replaces. Warm on its own in spring and autumn, and lovely over a quilt when it turns. How do I care for it? A cool machine wash, then reshape and dry flat. This is the gift to choose when you want something that will still be in the house in ten years, and it wraps beautifully for a baby shower or christening. Browse more in our gift ideas for baby. For safe sleep, keep loose bedding out of the cot while baby is sleeping until 12 months, following Plunket's safe sleep guidelines.
