Such a cute baby gift idea. (Etsy link.) And not to take away from the crocheter’s sales, but I’m suddenly wondering: could you attach the squares with velcro? In such a way that you could attach them to each other in varying ways? Or maybe flaring out from a joined bottom like a hand of cards so as to be able to rearrange them into an impromptu small blanket on the go, like for tucking in in a carseat? Or not permanently joined at all except in little loops and buttons to make a solid surface across as needed?
Who’s the entrepreneur ready to run with that?

That is a cute idea, and yes, so many ways you could go with it.

Short, wide scarf with big button and toggle button on back, so I can wrap and button the cowl in any number of ways with the pretty big button on top and the toggle button easily slipping between the stitches.
Comment by DebbieR 11.18.25 @ 8:39 amInteresting idea. but velcro is the natural enemy of yarn. I’d also be worried about a fastener such as a button that could detach and get swallowed.
Very cute item!
