I am looking for those baby blankets that sit down in a shopping for babies to put their feet through and sit in. I don’t know the proper name for them; does anyone else?

I’m 37 weeks and this is my first baby. I know that babies aren’t supposed to be put to bed with huge blankets and they should be swaddled with a receiving blanket, but for how long? I also got some regular baby blankets that are soft and have a different texture than the receiving blankets. Will he use that one and what’s the safest way to let him use it?
You can choose to use the blankets however you see fit. You will probably instinctively chose whatever is best for your baby.
It is recommended that baby’s not be put to bed with big, fluffy comforters due to the increased rates of SIDS. So if you have one of those kinds of blankets, you can put it up on the wall or put it away until the child is older.
Many newborns are comforted by swaddling. Some are not. You can try it (with whatever blanket you choose) and see if your baby likes it. Keep doing it as long as he likes it. When he has outgrown it, he will let you know by fussing if you try to swaddle him ( or kicking out of the blanket)

following a pattern from a book. I know the fan stitch and thougth it would make a cute baby blanket for my cousin who is expecting. I’m using size 8 needles. Thanks.
I’m sorry I don’t think I made myself clear, I mean that I am following the fan stitch from a book but I need to know how many I should cast on to make it the right length. Thanks
I have a pattern for this on my site but it uses size 11 needles.

But the stitch count for babies is 110
I love using the size 11s because it makes it nice and lacy.
But I also have another version on that page that uses size 8’s and she suggests casting on 120 sts. Hope this helps.
