A Hockey Themed Blanket

Recently my great-nephew turned two!
He is a nut about hockey, but also has quite a fondness
for his blankies.  So I thought, what better way to give him
a meaningful gift than to tie his two favourite things together?

I started by finding hockey images on free clipart sites that
could be easily turned into patterns. Like this one:




Which using felt and a real skate lace, became this skate block on the blanket.



The blanket has 9 blocks with different hockey images in each.



Including Lord Stanley!


With skate lace embellishments at the corners.


And cuddly charcoal gray fleece on the back. It's a winner!
