This motif with the two cuddling bears goes straight to the heart. When the little bear snuggles closely to his Mum, he feels secure, and nothing on the world can harm him. Every little child should have this feeling of being protected and loved. With this extra soft baby blanket you can symbolically give away these good wishes.

The motif is created only by knit and purl stitches. The border consists of an easy-to-do but very decorative cable pattern (no cable needle required). The pattern explains very detailed and stitch by stitch how you can knit this lovely blanket, so even beginners with good knitting skills will succeed. And if there should be any questions, I`ll be happy to help!
