This blanket is designed for baby in the car seat basket. When my first child was born, the old blanket kept falling off when we go outside during windy weather, which is very annoying. So my mother designed and knitted this beautiful blanket for the little guy. If you want to get an ad-free PDF version of the pattern, please visit Here.
