SIZE: This charming blanket measures approximately 80 cm (31 ½”) in height and 75 cm (29 ½”) in width, making it an ideal size for swaddling and providing warmth to your newborn.

YARN AND KNITTING NEEDLES: For this delightful blanket, you will need “WooLove” yarn—made of 100% wool, each skein weighing 50g and measuring 125 m (136 yd). You will require 150g in a soothing gray and 300g in a lovely pink hue. Use circular knitting needles in size #6 US (#4) with a minimum length of 24“ (60cm) and a crochet hook size B1 US (#2) for the Bobble Stitch embellishment.

RECOMMENDED YARNS: You can substitute any yarn of similar length and composition that corresponds to size #6 US (#4) for your project.

GAUGE: Achieve the perfect fit by using a gauge of 22 stitches and 38 rows to equal 10 x 10 cm on needles #6 US (#4). Always knit a sample swatch of 40 stitches and 40 rows to confirm your gauge before starting your blanket to ensure the correct size and texture.

BASIC STITCHES: This blanket features the delightful Garter stitch, where you knit every row, providing a textured and cozy feel. It also incorporates Stockinette stitch, which involves knitting on the right-side rows and purling on the wrong-side rows for added dimension.
