Trendy baby blankets are available in all sorts of great styles. Whether you are looking for minky, retro, organic, chenille, monogrammed, theme or cotton, there are many choices out there. Some blankets are gender specific and others go either way. Baby blankets come in different sizes, different trims and for different seasons.
Minky is a soft microfiber and the newest in luxury for baby. It feels like cashmere and looks like mink. Imagine petting a puppy and you get the gist of minky. Minky blankets are usually minky on one side and cotton on the other and trimmed with coordinating piping. Because of their different sides they are perfect for cool or warm weather. Patterns and colors are varied; you can find traditional colors like princess pink, trendy patterns like colorful mod birds on a background of soft olive, polka dots, peace signs, flowers, mushrooms and skulls.
Retro and vintage blankets are popular and prettier than ever. These blankets are hand-crafted from 100% cotton and come in timeless patterns and vivid color combinations. They often come with special designs such as weaving and backings done in window-pane chenille. Patterns include paper dolls, alphabet, zoo, animals and baseball.
Organic baby blankets are made without the use of chemicals and can also be found in many patterns and colors. They are available in traditional nursery colors such as pink, blue and mint green as well as funky colors and patterns inspired by Andy Warhol. There are fun patterns in vivid colors like sherbet pink and kiwi green that have words such as “giggle” and “drool” in Japanese characters, personalized organic blankets in colorful patchwork designs and organic blanket bags witch keep baby’s wiggling feet cozy and secure.
Nothing can hold a candle to chenille baby blankets when it comes to the fuzzy factor. Chenille is made of strips of fabric that are woven with yarn to create a blanket that is as warm and fuzzy as a baby lamb. They are often bordered with satin, are hypoallergenic and are machine washable. These extremely soft baby blankets come in solid colors, prints and sometimes, ears; baby can wear the hood on one end of the blanket and keep her head warm too.
Blankets are great to give and wonderful to receive. Whether baby lives in a climate of snow and ice, balmy island breezes or somewhere in between, a blanket is always needed, appreciated and used.
