Patchwork playmat

The sewing instructions for this patchwork playmat/blanket are ideal as a crawling mat or as a base under a play gym. The padding protects against cold floors and, depending on the chosen thickness, provides a comfortably cozy surface. Bright colors and different shapes playfully stimulate your baby’s senses. Optionally, play elements such as crinkle foil or other exciting materials can be integrated. The baby blanket is very flexible in its design: the size and shape can be individually adjusted, for example, using rectangles instead of squares, as shown here. Furthermore, the blanket can easily be sewn as a picnic blanket, a couch throw, or a fidget blanket for people with dementia. A binding strip or bias tape can be used for the edges.

Sewing difficulty: Easy, requires some experience
