Tributary Baby Blanket
The Tributary blanket, while not a ruffle blanket per se (the white zigzag is part of the main surface), is a take on the same idea. It uses soft, luxurious yarns to make a baby blanket that’s soft and pleasant to the touch with lovely ridges for little fingers to explore. The visual appeal is made so much better by the use of gradient-colored yarn. This is a lovely and easy project to give your baby’s room or bassinet a real shine.

Bear’s Rainbow Blanket with Border
The bordered Bear’s Rainbow blanket is a wonderful project that is a traditional checkerboard square design but with a rainbow-themed layout to the squares. The blanket itself is densely stitched, giving it a lovely drape. For the same reason, it’s also very warm and a great way to snuggle up in bed or in front of the TV. Because it’s based on squares, the size is essentially infinitely adjustable, and best of all, it’s easy to make.

Bear’s Rainbow Blanket without Border
In keeping with the theme, check out the borderless Bear’s Rainbow blanket, in which the central checkerboard meets up at the edges and give it an almost patchwork appearance. See what I mean? It’s one pattern, but two very different, but equally beautiful outcomes.
