Baby blankets are one of the best gifts you could bring to a baby shower. They are on any list of baby essentials as a matter of fact, and probably, on the top of the list. The Ilitominon Preemie Blanket by Maria Zilakouck is a gorgeous pattern designed to support premature babies. Lots of positive thoughts and wishes for the baby who will receive the blanket are mandatory part of the pattern.
——————————————–
I designed this blanket especially for those who wish to offer a soft hug to those tiny Ilitominon fighters, those babies who fight for life and for their parents who need to know that there are people out there who support them and feel for them.
Thanks to Maria Zilakouck for this article inspiration and featured image.

That’s so pretty. Leah Trlicek
Beautiful blanket. BUT where is the pattern??????????????????????
When you click on the link above, it takes you to another page. On that page there is another link that takes to you Ravelry, where you can download the pattern.
Thank you. I really would like to make that one.
Very pretty stitch. I’m must make this one.
looks interesting, but this stitch also looks like one that will get caught on fingers & things & snag easily !!
I just finished one like this for my granddaughter due in July
Nice
Nice
that looks like the pattern called ombre! I made something similar in 1980 for my son.
I really like these colors I’m thinking about similar ones for the living room
I made this for a cousin who had a preemie baby with birth defects. She gained her wings and the parents lauded her to rest with the Blankie I made for her. It is a beautiful piece and works up nicely. Thank you for sharing this because I had lost the pattern.
Please don’t make this blanket for a newborn. It is a completely unsuitable pattern. The elongated threads and holes can trap little fingers and toes and cut off the circulation.
