The growing popularity of the pram from the 1920s onwards meant there was an increasing need for a small, custom-sized blanket to replace the one borrowed from the cot. As it was the top layer,
in full view -- it had to stand out.

In flag stitch, this one is less complex, but the pure cashmere makes it special.
