Pram goes retro

Item: Pram afghan
Yarn: Loads of different ones, all from the 70s, corduroy backing

When I was a baby, my mother made this small afghan for me, intended as a cover for my pram, on top of the baby duvet. Isn't it gorgeous? Truly inspired, I think. It is primarily knitted, from loads of different yarns, some of them coloured with plant dyes by my mother herself. And the colours just pop, mostly reds and browns and oranges. And the backing is a brick red corduroy, matching perfectly! 


And now it is passed on to my baby boy, when he decides to join us in January some time. His pram will be the hottest pram in town!
