I made this hexagon baby blanket late last year for a dear friend of mine from college. She said that her nursery had stars and rainbows, and I mulled over it for a while before deciding to try my hand at a hexagon arrangement.
Rainbow baby blankets are so bright and happy and fun. I love the idea of surrounding your new babe with such vibrancy!
Nautical themes are so timeless. Stripes, neutral colors…you really can’t go wrong. I love pieces that can carry through the years, seasons of life (especially when being gifted to a kiddo) and, of course, are functional. I LOVE FUNCTIONAL.

While I was at it I swapped the blues too, so that the lighter green would fade into the lighter blue instead of the darker blue. Here’s the final rundown!
