This hand knit, fringed, rectangular, newborn baby blanket afghan throw photo prop with a dark chocolate brown base and fringe on two sides in greens and browns is big enough for twins and can also be used as a hammock sling!

My highly textured, handmade designs are best sellers; I truly enjoy supplying photographers with unique, versatile, top quality newborn infant, baby and child portrait photography props. I appreciate the support of my customers and look forward to working with you!



This dear images with twin boys (their grandma made their diaper covers) were captured and prepared by the absolutely wonderful, professional photographer Cheryl Woody of Frozen Moments Photography in Columbiaville, Michigan



Cheryl writes about the session: "I have a large beanbag bed that I always use under the babies whenever I am lifting them off the table in any manner. The parents each held one end of the hammock and lifted the babies up. I can't wait to use the hammock again!"

Fringed Throw, Lap Warmer Afghan Blanket (Wedding Gift for Newlywed Couple)

This hand knit, home decor, fringed throw afghan blanket design is a luxury lap warmer for two. You custom select from a wide range of colors, so it makes the perfect, personalized wedding gift for newlywed couples! You can choose their favorite hues, or match their home decor or favorite sports team (I've got tons of colors, so let your imagination soar).

SPECIAL VALUE: I'm introducing this top quality, 240.00 value blanket at a limited time, 45.00 discount and I'm including shipping at no charge to my customers because I'm so excited to share this new design!

The images here were captured by the talented, fun and delightful Ashley of Ashley Mae Photography in Logan, Utah. Ashley writes about the blanket, "I was so impressed when I saw it, it's beautiful - the colors are PERRRFECT.! You have such a unique talent. Love how you put colors together!!"

I use 3 strands of strong, durable yarn for the base (shown here in flecked cream beige, please let me know which colors you'd like for the base of the throw I design specifically for you).



Then I add one foot of thick, beautiful fringe on each end. The fringe shown includes wet bark browns, cottony creams, deep earth, new grass & olive greens, moss, golden amber, wildfire charcoals and so much more. Again, feel free to ask me to customize for you!

This richly textured throw blanket is warm without being suffocating and is the perfect size to snuggle a person or couple of any size (5.5 feet long including fringe x 3 feet wide to start; it's very elastic because of the special stitch I used, so it easily stretches to 6 feet wide).



I originally designed it for a photographer to use in her portrait photography business, although it would look lovely in any home. When laid long wise, it easily covers the width of a queen sized bed, so it makes a lovely warmer at the foot of the bed in a guest bedroom or in any room of the house.

As with most of my work, please just let me know if you'd like yours a little different; custom orders & special requests are welcome and I generally can make a design more heavy or lightweight, wider or thinner, shorter or longer, use different colors, etc.

My designs are exceptional quality and a great value; this piece is strong and durable for everyday use for many years.

Only soft, designer, vintage or novelty yarns (vegan). No allergenic animal fibers.

Designed & knit in the clean, fresh, high desert air in the heart of Grand Canyon country, USA (no cigarette, perfume or pet odors)



My standard shipping is to anywhere in the world. I ship to U.S. customers via 2-3 day USPS Priority Mail & to international customers via first class.

Hand wash in cool water with mild soap. Resist wringing to dry. Dry flat.

Super Fringie: Double Size Fringed Yarn Blanket Photo Prop

Care & Use of Your Super Fringie Photo Prop
By Celeste (Crickets), Fringies Designer & Creator

Thank you for choosing my double size Super Fringies for your portrait photography business! This post shares some great ways to get the most use out of your new photography prop.

Stephanie Neal Photography's wonderful depiction of my Super Oatmeal Fringie design...perfect baby not included!


Your Super Fringie will arrive folded and possibly a bit compressed from its journey; you may be surprised by how small it seems at first! Remove it from its packaging, carefully unfold and gently shake, fluff and finger-comb, combing with the fingers of one hand while (optional) stabilizing the center seam with the other (it’s kind of like caring for a very colorful wig)!

Shelly Dibble of Storybook Photography spreads her Bohemian Super Fringie into a 2 feet x 4 feet, sheepskin-sized oval


I find the easiest way to keep the Super Fringie untangled is to carry it by the seam. So, if I were to move it, I would slide one of my hands/forearms under the seam and lift the Super Fringie so that it lays on my forearm (draped kind of like a towel on a waiter's arm in a fancy restaurant).

Spreading your Super Fringie out into an oval shape allows for maximum coverage, giving two feet of additional length (one foot of fringe will extend past each end of the center seam). Your Super Fringie is approximately 2 feet x 2 feet until it’s spread out in an oval; then it grows to 2 feet x 4 feet. This technique is especially helpful to create a “halo” of color all around your subject. Lay the Fringie down in its rectangular shape and then spread out either side of fringe like a fan into a semi-circle, so that it will create an oval. Here’s a picture that shows the seam and how the yarn is arranged:



It’s helpful to pat and jiggle the thick yarn at the center of the “fans” to spread it out toward the ends, and to finger-comb the yarns into place, combing with the fingers of one hand while stabilizing the center seam with the other. It doesn’t have to be perfect! Typically, the baby’s spine will lie along the (comfortable) center seam. Here’s an example from Heather Bridge Photography:



Another option is to use a basket in conjunction with a Super Fringie as in this image by Kayleen Feil Photography:



First, drape the Super Fringie over the front side of the basket like a towel hanging to dry (with the center seam parallel to the lip of the basket). Then, if you like, bring some fringe to the back, inner wall of the basket.

To store your Super Fringie away from dust or pet dander, either drape it over a pants hanger and hang in a closet, or carefully fold and store on a covered shelf or in plastic.

Super Fringies are stain and wear resistant. For occasional spot cleaning, hand wash in cool water with mild soap. Do not wring (gentle squeezing is okay, please do not twist). Dry flat (or blow dry on cool setting).
