To make a modest cover-up
(snuggle),
for a breastfeeding mom, simply cut a piece of flannel or soft cotton
approximately
20" x 15".
Now crochet a simple border
around the outside edge in baby yarn.
1 oz baby or sport yarn
Use a size D crochet hook.
Simply 'punch' the crochet
hook through both layers of material to crochet around.
Tuck the edge of the
material
under 1/8", repeat (so you have it tucked under twice).
Rnd 1:
Sc around the whole blanket making sure to sc over the folded hem and
putting
the hook in the single layer of material under the folded edge. Place
sts
about 1/8" apart all the way around.
CORNERS:
Make 3 sc in the same hole
at corners.
Rnd 2: Dc in each
sc
around, at corners 2 dc in each of the 3 sc.
Rnd 3: *3 dc in first
dc, sc in next dc* Continue all around to form shells.
This might not seem large enough but it works really well, even with babies who hate to be covered up. It's light weight and folds up easily to place in the baby bag. Makes a terrific shower gift for a mom-to-be!
