The idea for the crochet patchwork blankets came from the old-fashioned airtex blankets. Do you remember those? I wanted to make a blanket that was lighter than a fully knitted blanket, something ideal for the summer or inside with central heating. I wanted to make something pretty with a feeling of yesteryear, something really homemade that looks like its been loving made for you by your Granny. So I experimented with crocheting pieces of fabric together and the result is this lovely light blanket. We use a really fine crochet hook to make these so that we can poke it directly through the fabric to make the stitches. The fabric in these blankets is 100% cotton and each batch of patchwork varies so there’s a lovely unique quality to this special blanket.
At Pebble we like to think that our toys spread smiles worldwide: the ladies who make them in Bangladesh smile because the toys bring them work, the parents smile because the toys keep their babies happy and enable them to shop with a conscience and the babies smile – well you can see why!
All Pebble products are made in Bangladesh by the extremely talented and capable artisans at Hathay Bunano ps. We love their workmanship and we love rural Bangladesh. Pebble toys are our small contribution to supporting families in rural Bangladesh, to removing the need for economic migration to the cities and to providing women with flexible working opportunities which are close to their homes.
