Your Saturday morning just gained so many snuggle points.

You never knew you needed one until now! Are your kids like mine: it's the weekend, they wake up groggy, shuffle over to the couch, dragging the biggest blanket they can find and curl up inside? And are you tired of dragging said blanket back to the bedroom? Well, Baka the Hooded Blanket is sure to fix your blanket woes! It's fully lined with features like a paint-on (or dark iron-on transfer) face with 20+ different features in three sizes to mix and match, button closure (or velcro closure for younger kiddos), as well as little puff antlers! Oh! And you might have noticed the cute little bunny and bear ears on a couple of the blankets... That's an added bonus pattern (found in my secret freebies clubhouse) just for the BAKA, free for subscribers of my Newsletter! Not only that, but there's a special 30% off promo code exclusively for Baka the Hooded Blanket in the secret freebies clubhouse too! *NEW!* Editable templates for the faces are now available!!! If you previously purchased the Baka PDF and would like these new extras, email me and I’ll send them to you!

This listing is for BAKA the HOODED BLANKET PATTERN ONLY. If you are interested in the full Umaru Collection, please purchase the Umaru Collection instead of this one.

File size: 9MB zipped 

All of my patterns are packaged and sent in a zipped (compressed) folder which contains separate files for the following:

• the PDF Pattern file

• the "READ FIRST" instructions which are the detailed instructions of the pattern

• a black and white version of just the sewing tutorial for those who like to print out instructions

• an overview image to closely see how the pattern pages look when all put together (for reference purposes)

Some patterns also include a separate file for the face template patterns as well as an overview image of the templates.
