Cuddly Cloud Preemie Baby Blanket

"The Cuddly Cloud baby blanket is a free pattern designed for preemie babies. The blanket uses a combination of stitch patterns to add texture while still being soft and classic in style. If you'd like to donate your blanket, choose a soft DK weight yarn that meets the requirements of your preferred charity. Adjust the width and length if you'd like to make a larger blanket. This can be a one skein project if you use Bernat Softee Baby or another dk weight yarn that comes in skeins of 350 or more yards."
