Alfred - Blanket

Introducing our beautifully soft and squishy knitted blanket pattern, designed specifically for keeping your little ones warm and snug. This adorable blanket features a reversible pattern that not only adds a touch of charm but also allows for versatile styling in any nursery or playroom.

Written in clear English using UK knitting terms, this pattern includes comprehensive row-by-row instructions to guide you effortlessly through the project, whether you're a beginner or looking to enhance your knitting skills. The essential skills required for this project are simple: cast on, knit, purl, and cast off.

Once blocked, this knitted blanket measures approximately 38x30 inches, making it a lovely size for infants and toddlers. Please note that during the blocking process, I discovered that the blanket gained a couple of inches, so expect it to be slightly smaller before the blocking stage.

For this project, I used Women’s Institute Soft and Smooth Aran yarn in a delightful Salmon shade, but feel free to select any yarn that meets the necessary weight and tension requirements for your creation. The tension for this pattern is 18 stitches and 24 rows to a 4-inch (10cm) square using 5mm/#8 needles, ensuring a cozy and comfortable finish.

The yarn weight used for this charming blanket is Aran/Worsted, and you'll need approximately 450 grams (745 meters) of yarn to complete it. This unique blanket makes for a perfect gift for new parents or a delightful addition to your own home. Start crafting today and watch as your beautiful knitted blanket comes to life!
