BABY BLANKET
Celebrate stitches with snuggle factor in this earthy tone baby blanket by Hannah Cross
Clever stitch combinations are what helps this Moroccan-shade baby blanket sing, and Sublime’s silk-blend yarn makes it truly luxurious. It’s also a great opportunity for beginners to tackle a range of stitches.
NOTES
Blanket is worked in rows.
Change colour on the final yrh at end of row before colour change is indicated. Do not carry unused colours up the side of the Blanket, instead fasten off and rejoin when directed.
You can alter the width of the pattern by working a foundation ch that’s a multiple of 21+1.
Ch-sps are not included in st counts unless otherwise stated.
