From the pattern description:

Playmat combines a learning tool with a soft furnishing. The numbers, letters and geometric shapes are included as an aid to a child’s learning skills, and the afghan itself provides warmth and comfort for the infant. This unisex design uses soft, sugary colors to create a welcoming environment for both mother and baby.
