Striped Bobble Baby Blanket - Free Pattern

I made this blanket for a great friend who was pregnant with their rainbow baby miracle. I wanted a soft blanket with lots of texture for this sweet baby to enjoy when they are doing tummy time or needing something to cuddle. I’ve made something similar for my own babies and they love it.
