This hand knit (by me!), fringed, newborn infant baby blanket photography prop with 'Calico' textured fringe on two sides in every color can also be used as a hammock or hanging sling!

I appreciate the support of my customers and look forward to working with you (my other shop is http://www.etsy.com/shop/CricketsCreations where I'm thankful to have received 1000+ positive feedbacks)!

The professional images of a happy baby in the basket (and with fringe all around) came from Katie Kulzer Photography in Washburn, ND at http://www.katiekulzer.com (other photo credited in separate listings).

Katie writes, "Celeste aka Crickets, you are amazing and I love all of your work!!! Count me in to be getting some more of these GREAT products!!!!

I use 2 strands of strong, durable yarn for the base (shown here in dark brown or please let me know which colors you'd like for the base of the throw I design specifically for you).

Then I add one foot of thick, beautiful fringe on each end. The fringe shown includes golden yellow, turquoise, royal and denim blues, moss to olive greens, sage, cream, brown, rusty red, burnt orange, black, plum, maroon and more so it's perfect for boys and girls.

There's quite a bit of stretch in the throw to play with during photo shoots. If this blanket is not stretched at all, then it's 2 feet wide and 3.5 feet with the fringe. It stretches to 4 feet or more wide.

I have hundreds of different colors and textures of yarns, so please feel welcome to ask for a custom throw, afghan or blanket!

These also come in large size for grown ups and make fantastic wedding, anniversary, graduation or housewarming gifts:

**Important Note: My openwork throws only work as a photography prop for short periods under direct supervision; they're not functioning baby blankets and are for professional use only. Other accessories and, ahem, babies not included. ;)

Only soft, designer, vintage or novelty yarns (vegan). No allergenic animal fibers to irritate subjects with sensitive skin.

Designed & created in the clean, fresh, high desert air in the heart of the Grand Canyon Country, USA (no perfume, cigarette or pet odors)

Hand wash in cool water with mild soap. Resist wringing to dry. Dry flat.

The very first of these blankets was a special request from an expectant mother (see the original at http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=13827129 )...she wanted a blanket in the same open, lacy, elastic stitch that I use when I make many of my scarves. Thanks for the great idea, Jenny! Now they're popular for their versatility. :)
