When our babies are born, the first ones they get to know, of course, are their parents. And who do they meet next? Most often, you show them animals — at home, on the street, on educational cards. Children love animals because we instill this love in them. And they are cute — both children and animals. 🙂 I gathered some cool animal baby blankets and squares here. You can make them with free crochet patterns. Crochet them for the children — they will love it, I promise.
