There’s nothing like a new baby to make us want to wield our knitting needless in a frenzy of creativity. There are tons of ways to make a fabulous baby blanket, but these two beauties are the ultimate in practicality as well. Each fits neatly inside a car seat with just a little bit of fabric to tuck around its occupant, and has an off-center opening for the buckle. You can tuck Baby into the car seat without having to unwrap all of her layers, or waking him up while you wrestle with a too-big blanket!

EDIT 2/19 - new samples in different yarn! Same pattern :-)
