Hello everybody
I'm going to make a baby blanket for a DH's friend who's due in September (she lives in Colorado). I was debating what to make the blanket out of. I thought cotton at first, but my husband seemed unimpressed with that prospect.
Is cotton a suitable choice for a baby blanket, or should I opt for something more fancy? Or, is there a "fancy" very soft and impressive looking cotton yarn out there that won't result in a $100 blanket? :)
I just know that mom wouldn't ever bother to hand wash a blanket, so anything machine washable would be appreciated. Thanks for your input!
(for those who are interested, I'm doing a simple afghan stitch with a Tunisian crochet hook to make a nice thermal blanket. any good estimates for how much yarn I'd need for that?)
