Rosebud Baby Blanket

This charming baby blanket features rosebuds at each corner, with delicate ribbons woven through the edges for a soft, dainty touch. The scalloped selvedges form a lovely, finished edge after washing and pressing, adding a unique, textured detail to the design.

Made from luxurious Aurora Earth 8/2 Cotton, these blankets are not only soft and cozy but also machine washable—perfect for everyday use. The ribbon color can be easily customized to suit either a boy’s or girl’s nursery, adding a personal touch to any decor.
