At one year old, it’s perfectly safe for your little one to sleep with a lightweight blanket. Just make sure to tuck it in firmly under the mattress so it doesn’t creep up near their face. Choose a breathable cotton material and avoid bulky quilts or comforters that could pose a suffocation risk. When using a blanket, your baby’s sleep environment should be free of other loose bedding like pillows, stuffed animals, and bumper pads. With the proper precautions, a blanket can help your 1 year old feel cozy and settled at bedtime. Sweet dreams!

To knit a pram blanket, you’ll need about 5-6 balls of wool yarn. The exact number depends on the size of the blanket and thickness of the yarn, but 5-6 balls is a good estimate for a medium-sized baby blanket using worsted weight yarn. I’d recommend getting an extra ball just in case you need it. When starting a bigger project like a blanket, it’s always better to have a little extra yarn on hand rather than run out before you finish. With 5-6 balls, you should have plenty to complete a cozy blanket to keep baby snuggly and warm in their pram. Let me know if you need any other tips for your knitting project!
