What Makes a Handmade Baby Blanket a Special Gift?
There is something extra special about giving a baby a blanket that was finished by hand. A handmade baby blanket is more than something soft and cozy — it can become part of the memories surrounding a new baby.
At Shop1707, our baby blankets start with soft polar fleece and are finished with hand-crocheted borders. The borders are designed and crocheted in the U.S.A., giving each blanket its own handmade character.
Two Special Border Designs
Our baby blankets are available with two different border styles:
Country Look – A cheerful, cozy design with a more traditional handmade feel.
French Design – A softer, elegant border style that gives the blanket a delicate and polished appearance.
The colors and combinations vary from blanket to blanket, making each one a little different.
Soft and Easy to Care For
Our polar fleece baby blankets are made from 100% polyester and measure approximately 30" x 40". They are pre-washed with no perfumes or dyes and are both machine washable and dryer safe.
That means parents can enjoy a beautiful handmade blanket without having to worry about complicated care instructions.
A Thoughtful Baby Gift
A handmade baby blanket can make a wonderful gift for:
- Baby showers
- Newborn gifts
- Bringing baby home
- Grandchildren
- First birthdays
- Nursery gifts
- Keepsakes
Many of our blankets are available in very limited quantities, and some designs have only one blanket available.
Handmade Details Make the Difference
The hand-crocheted border is what gives these blankets their special Shop1707 look. Small handmade details can turn an everyday baby blanket into something more personal and memorable.
Whether you prefer the relaxed Country Look or the elegant French Design, each blanket was created to bring softness, color, and a handmade touch to a little one’s world.
