First Cuddles Baby Blanket (Virka)

The Sprig Stitch texture is so lovely in person—it adds just enough visual interest without feeling bulky at all. I keep draping it over my shoulder while I rock the baby, and it's the perfect weight for that.

The lightweight feel is exactly what I hoped for—it drapes over my little one without smothering her, and the Small Shell Stitch gives it just enough visual charm. I've already washed it twice and it's held its shape beautifully, which is a relief for something handmade.

The Sprig Stitch texture is just perfect—light enough for tummy time but still feels cozy when she tucks her chin into it. I’ve already thrown it in the wash twice and the little shells haven’t pulled or flattened a bit.
