These little ribbon blankets (also called tag blankets) are a super-cute handmade baby shower gift idea. They are a nice sensory toy for young babies because they are light, easy to grasp and full of different textures. You can use any fabric and ribbon you have on hand. The finished blanket can be any size, as can the ribbon tags- no need to be too precious here with exact measurements. I recommend using a soft flannel, fleece or minky for the blanket in coordinating fabrics and a variety of different sizes and textures of ribbon to keep it interesting. Since you know this is going into baby's mouth, I highly recommend at least a double row of top stitching to secure the ribbons.
One of my friends got a handmade ribbon blanket for her baby girl and to quote her: "It's kind of her favourite thing." Let's get started!
