This pattern was designed for Comfort and Cuddle Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that distributes small hand knit and crocheted items (called “Comforts”) to children in need of some extra love and kindness.

Sometimes, we need a little comfort. When life gets hard, it’s nice to have a simple project that knits up quickly and doesn’t cause stress or require much concentration. When someone you care about is going through a difficult time, you can knit them this blanket as a physical representation of your love and kindness.

I designed this blanket while my eleven-year-old son was inpatient at a children’s psychiatric hospital because of his depression. No visitors were allowed because of COVID, and I wanted to send him something that had a mother’s unconditional love in every stitch.
