Ingredients

  • Two and a half yards of 52″ wide cotton gauze fabric will get you two swaddle blankets.

Instructions

  • Cut out a 43″ by 50″ piece of cotton gauze fabric.
  • Press the edges over 1/2″ and then another 1/2″ to hidTe the raw edges inside.
  • Sew the hem in place. Take special care on the corners to back and forward stitch all the way to the edges, so they are fully sewn down.

Notes

  • This is my favorite type of baby blanket due to the stretch! Flannel is too hard to wrap, especially if you are new to swaddling.
