Rosebud Baby Blanket Weaving Pattern

Rosebuds at all four corners and pink ribbon woven through floats along the edges add a dainty touch to this blanket. Woven in 8/2 cotton, the blanket is soft, machine washable and ready for baby. You can also change the ribbon color for boys or girls who aren't so fond of pink. The selvedges in the blanket make a lovely scalloped edge after the blanket is washed and pressed.
