DESCRIPTION
The Crocheted Milestone Blocks are such a fun project to make because there are so many different ways to use these blocks.

Initially, the blocks were designed as part of the Milestone Bat Blanket Collection to use to chronicle your babies growth. This entire set allows you to dress the baby with the Holy Bat Man Hat(pattern sold separately), place them between the the bat wings on the Milestone Bat Blanket(pattern in testing phase), and use the blocks to display the baby’s age. Once you snap a picture, you have a lasting memory.

Other motif options have been provided in the pattern so that the blocks can be coordinate with my other blankets designs too including the Bunny Buns Blankets and Sly the Fox Blanket.

The blocks can be a stand alone item to use along side your baby for picture taking or made in colours to coordinate with your own favourite blanket.

If you add a few extra blocks, they become an educational play toy for kids. Make up in a variety of colours, with different numbers, and/or alphabet letters and your child can learn their colours, numbers and letters as they stack away.
