New Pattern - Small Moses Basket and Swaddling Blanket

I'm always looking for new crochet patterns for moses baskets, because they make lovely holders for teddy bears :)

But I'm also always aware that a Moses Basket with a teddy inside should be safe for a child and easy to carry about.

I have already designed a Moses Basket For A Toddler pattern which holds an 8 to 10 inch soft toy - ideal for a small child.
But many children aged 3 to 12 have taken a liking to these too, while others want something just a little smaller.

So I have designed a new Small Moses Basket and Swaddling Blanket crochet pattern. The Moses Basket is ideal to fit a soft toy or doll measuring between 5 inches and 7 inches.

And to add some comfort and warmth for the toy (😀), I have added to this pattern a design for a swaddling blanket too. The swaddling blanket is wide and roomy and wraps around a dolly or teddy bear with lots of room to spare.

There are two versions of the pattern and you will be able to download them both as required:

• A full written pattern with explanatory pictures and diagrams alongside the pattern.
• A full written text only pattern which is print friendly.

This is a paid pattern (£2 plus VAT - if applicable - on Ravelry), but that is because it really is a full pattern, with making instructions, together diagrams and pictures to explain particular stitches and how to get a good finish to your work.
So you will not be disappointed.

You can find the pattern in my Ravelry Store where you can read more about the pattern and see more pictures:

Or, if you prefer, you can go straight to the pattern to buy now 😃

It really is a nice easy make - especially with the helpful instructions.

However, if you would rather buy one of these Small Moses Baskets with a Teddy already inside and wrapped in a blanket, you can find one here in our Etsy Shop:

Either way, I'm sure you know a little one who would love one of these! :)
