Naptown Naptime Baby Blanket
Naptown is the affectionate nickname for my hometown of Annapolis. It’s a town rich in nautical history. This generously sized baby blanket celebrates that history with cabled anchors, knit and purl waves and textured stitch sailboats. Knit in a bulky, acrylic/cotton blend, this blanket is super soft and knits up quickly. Naptown Nap Time is the perfect blanket for your little sailor.
