I've just made my third leaf blanket and this one is finally for me! Or rather... my cat.
The pattern is gorgeous: beautifully whimsical, softly cuddly, and I hope the ones I've gifted will become heirloom objects that are treasured.
If you're on the fence about this, go for it: the only thing to lose is your appreciation for the square and mundane, and let's face it we could all stand to lose some of that!

I have my pattern all printed out and ready to go. Christmas got in the way. The kawakawa leaf is the pattern I have chosen for a blanket for my granddaughter because if the shape of it and the traditional Moari uses and meanings. Her parents are setting up a "quiet " corner in her room and it the area will be designated by the leaf especially for her to de-stress. I am patchworking the top out of all things batik but it has to have some pink in it!Watch this space.
I recently made the large child sized Kawakawa leaf for a friend’s child. It sews up beautifully! The pattern is easy and straightforward. I can’t wait to make some more in all the sizes.
My daughter who lives in York, England made a blanket for both of her boys when they were babies. I wanted something special for a friend who has invited us to Thanksgiving dinner multiple times. Her son is having his first baby and so I tried the pattern. It was fun and easy to make. I did have trouble figuring out the layering, but I made it work. I also researched the Kawakawa leaf and shared some information about the leaf in my letter to the parents.
Thank you for creating such a cute blanket.
Wonderful pattern. Simple instructions, lots of help and good ideas online.
I really loved sewing the leaf blanket, it's such a beautiful peace thateveyone needs. Very nice en easy for a great gift, or for your own kids ofcourse. I made one as a maternity gift and actually wants to keep of for myself. I plan to make one for my gaming chair. Nice and comfy. Love it!
Step by step instructions from even how to print to how to sew with suggestions of materials and sewing manners and keeping the environment in mind. It's worth the price as you know that stores ask much more money for a finished blanket like this.
