FAQs

What size are your baby blankets?

Our baby blankets measure approximately 55 × 70 cm.

Their compact size makes them handy for supervised cuddles, pram outings and taking along on family days out. As each blanket is handmade, measurements may vary slightly.

Are your chenille baby blankets suitable for newborns?

SnugaBug baby blankets can be enjoyed during supervised cuddles, pram outings and time together at home.

They are made from chunky chenille and are not intended for use as loose bedding or during unattended sleep. Always follow current NHS safer-sleep guidance for your baby.

Are the blankets machine washable?

Yes. For best results, hand wash gently. Alternatively, machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle.

Reshape while damp and lay flat to air dry. Do not tumble dry.

What makes a SnugaBug baby blanket different?

Every SnugaBug baby blanket is individually hand-knitted by me in Essex using plush chenille yarn.

Unlike a mass-produced blanket, each one is made in small batches or especially to order. You can choose from classic colours, playful designs and personalised options, with the small variations that make handmade pieces unique.

Do you offer different designs?

Yes ✨ Within the collection you’ll find:

• classic plain chenille blankets
• personalised name blankets
• bow and strawberry appliqué designs
• colourful and neutral colour options

Each design is individually hand-knitted, so you can choose something that suits the little one or family you’re buying for.

Are these blankets a good baby shower gift?

Yes. A hand-knitted baby blanket makes a thoughtful and practical gift for a baby shower, new arrival or first birthday.

Choose from classic and colourful designs, or select a personalised blanket featuring the child’s name for something made especially for them.

Do you make larger sizes?

Yes—we also offer toddler-sized chenille blankets measuring approximately 70 × 90 cm.

They provide more coverage for growing little ones and are a lovely size for cuddles at home or taking along on family days out.
