What you need to know

Part four is here! It's time to complete our sensory playmat crochet-along.

The final part of the baby playmat crochet series brings everything together by introducing the plush pineapple stitch alongside more zig-zag squares and an additional pocket featuring a tinkling bell, before moving on to blocking all the squares and joining them into the finished playmat, with a reminder that if the blanket is intended for a very young baby, all embellishments should be sewn on securely and any hard decorations, such as the bell, should be left off for safety.
