Soft And Cozy

The Brierley Preemie Blanket is designed with the Herringbone stitch to achieve a great fabric while still having some texture and and a gorgeous look.

I choose to use *Knit Picks Comfy Color Mist yarn for the blanket, It’s a super soft and light Pima Cotton and Acrylic blend giving it beautiful drape and snuggability!

A very special thank you to *WeCrochet for providing the yarn for this project!!
