How to crochet a comforter for a newborn

The idea of ​​comfort first appeared in England. Newborns know their mother's smell well, and quickly calm down if they smell it. This napkin toy is placed nearby while the baby is feeding, and it retains that smell. When the mother is not around and the toy lies near the newborn, he feels comfortable.

    I saw similar toys in children's stores, only not knitted, but fabric ones, and they were quite expensive. I accidentally came across this idea on your site, and it came in very handy. I'm getting ready to become a mother and comfort is simply necessary. It’s great that I can create a safe toy for my baby myself and weave my warmth and care into it.

    Thank you for the useful master class! It will be very useful for the expected grandson. The advice is good for its intended purpose, and as a teaching tool for crocheting.
