Our granddaughter, Miss Three, has an addiction... to "silkies"! She loves anything satin (blanket bindings, hair ribbons, nightgowns or even a tag in the back of a shirt), so when I found this pattern for taggie blankets I knew I had to make one for her. I used flannel backed satin for the back and flannel for the front. The pattern called for 5 inch pieces of ribbon for the tags, but I thought that made the loop a little too large, so I cut mine 4 inches instead. I love the way that it turned out and I'm really excited to see Miss Three's reaction when she opens it on Christmas!

One word *ADORABLE* she will love it! Thank you for sharing, I am just sorry I don't have anyone to make one for...very sweet!
Susan,
This blanket is so cute. Isn't it funny how they attach themselves to something soft and snuggly. For our kids its was a small piece of sheepskin "Sheepy" .
Hia Susan, beautiful work in the last 2 posts- sorry catching up. The blanket is adorable. One of my early blankets had a wide satin ribbon edge which I rubbed to shreds. I still like satin ribbon. LOL
I have a little something else for you on my blog.
Best Wishes,
Melanie
This is so cute.
Now I would have LOVED a blanket like this when I was young. I was addicted to the feel of the silk binding. Gotta admit I still like it.
Thanks for your prayers for my grandson, Susan.
