Muslin Throw Blanket

A muslin throw blanket is loosely woven in a simple over-under pattern, so it is light, breathable and softer with every wash, the cloth of baby swaddles made big enough for the sofa. It works as a summer cover on its own and as a thin extra layer under a heavier blanket in winter. Shake it out rather than ironing it, since the gentle crinkle muslin takes on after washing is part of its charm.
