A very simple and very cuddly blanket which was crafted for our Mini Schnauzer Sophie after a serious, life threatening surgery a couple of weeks ago.
Paige made two matching blankets, one for their dog Oscar and one for Sophie. I thought I'd share the colour combos for anyone else who'd like to make one. It would work as a baby square too.
