Handmade Blankets for Elsa

Elsa is a very loved baby girl. Many people have made her blankets - knit, crocheted, quilted, and sewn. We did a photo shoot with Elsa and all her handmade blankets.



This blanket was made 36 years ago for Arne when he was a baby by a family friend Helen. For his birthday, Arne's mom found it for our baby to be. It is wonderful to wrap Elsa in Arne's baby blanket.



This blanket was knit by Arne's mom. It has a crocheted edge with holes just the right size for little thumbs, just like the blanket Arne's grandmother knit for him when he was a baby.



My friend Julia knit this blue stroller blanket.



Arne's coworker Terry crocheted this blanket for Elsa.



My coworker Cathy sewed this blanket.



Our friend Ellen from Camp Blue sewed this blanket.

Elsa has many lovely blankets to enjoy and that will keep her warm and covered for years to come.
