KNITTING PATTERN -- Simple, Elegant baby blanket, with two versions - P076
When designing this blanket I decided to let this glorious yarn speak for itself!!!. It is an absolute delight to knit up and really shows the beautiful textured stitches. I have designed this blanket with the advanced beginner knitter in mind. The middle section is very simple, and would also be suitable as a pram cover, I then added the outside border which makes this blanket even more striking, and certainly would be suitable for a Christening blanket. The pattern has two versions, a simple one and one a little more elaborate, and also comes with picture tutorial.
