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.
