Pairing a knitted blanket with a baby lamp

It is because not only are they just so much fun to shop for, but they are two of the most utilitarian and important things that a baby will need.

For starters, a knitted baby blanket is very practical. It can be a pre-delivery activity, where the parent knits the blanket by themselves, and this makes the entire process so very special. It serves as an emotional outlet, which brings you, closer to your baby, and it is also a very calming and soothing activity since it requires very less physical exertion.

When you are choosing to knit a baby blanket, you must decide which type of room the baby will be sleeping in, because it will determine the fabric that you will be using to knit the blanket, For instance, if the baby will sleep in a room which is a little stuffy or is a little hot, then you should knit a blanket out of cotton. On the other hand, if the room is going to be cold, then wool is a preferable choice. Also, you should keep in mind that the bulkier the fabric, the easier and quicker the blanket will be done, but it will also be heavier and hotter.

Deciding on the stitch is the fun part because there are a number of options for you to choose from. For instance, the box stitch is simple and also very elegant. It looks good with wool of any color or dye, which means it will look good in any type of nursery. But also make sure that while you are knitting the baby blanket, add a few stockinet stitches along the edge so that the fabric does not come loose at the ends, otherwise the baby may hurt himself or herself with it.

You may think that pairing a knitted blanket with a baby lamp may all be just about a matching color pattern, but it is so much more than just that. For starters, get something which has an adjustable light intensity because something below 60 watts is too low and may not serve any purpose in the longer run. Get a design which not only compliments the blanket, but also has a stylish design so that your baby does not outgrow it quickly, and also because it is value for money if you get to use it for at least a few years. Also, if the design is attractive, it will keep your baby from developing a potential fear of the darkness.

Often at times, a large number of companies as well as online websites offer attractive discounts and coupled offers on knitted baby blankets and baby lamps together. It is always a good idea to keep a check on those potential offers because you can save a ton of money buying them together rather than separately. Incidentally, in most of these offers, the lamps and blankets happen to match each other, which means you don’t need to go on different shopping trips.
