Vintage gifts circa 1972
These beautiful blankets were made by my mum when she was waiting to have me. She was in hospital for at least six weeks to ‘rest’ but spent all her time knitting and crocheting this and the one below. They have both been kept so carefully and are as perfect as the day they were made. Aren’t we lucky?!
This was to go in the rocking cradle that my dad made and to match the yellow, white and black Marimekko blinds mum made. I’ll photograph them one day when I’m back home. They still look good after all these years.

The blankets made by your mum are really beautiful and in fabulous condition. Hand-made items are to be cherished along with the stories that go with them :-) Lx
The blankets are beautiful! You are lucky :-)
Gosh! They are both really beautiful!
Lovely blankets and a beautiful babe too!
wow- they’re beautiful. I love the idea of handmade things being loved and cared for and passed down the generations.
how beautiful! i especially love the daisies on the yellow ground - enough to make me want to learn to crochet!
Please Please ask your mom for the daisy blanket pattern. I completely adore its beauty and want to make it. I would sooo appreciate that.
