Baby Bunting Blanket

Bye, baby Bunting,
Father's gone a-hunting,
Mother's gone a-milking,
Sister's gone a-silking,
Brother's gone to buy a skin
To wrap the Baby Bunting in.

Introducing the delightful Baby Bunting Cot Blanket, a project that beautifully marries simplicity and practicality with timeless elegance. Designed to charm both beginners and experienced knitters alike, this gorgeous blanket features a classic log cabin quilt square pattern, enhanced by an applied I-cord border that adds a touch of sophistication.

The Baby Bunting Blanket boasts a turned-down top border adorned with exquisite knitted lace edgings. This intricate lace detail elevates the blanket's vintage charm, making it a perfect piece for any nursery or as a thoughtful gift for new parents.

Crafted seamlessly in garter stitch, the main blanket is worked by picking up stitches from the center block and working outward, ensuring a smooth and cohesive design. The lace turn-down and edgings are skillfully knitted onto live stitches, providing an engaging knitting experience.

By combining the ease of garter stitch with a captivating seamless construction, the Baby Bunting Blanket demonstrates that in knitting, the whole can truly be greater than the sum of its parts. This project not only showcases your knitting skills but also results in a beautiful heirloom piece that can be cherished for years to come.

While accessible for knitters with some experience, the knitted-on lace borders elevate this project into the intermediate category. Detailed, step-by-step instructions ensure that you’ll be guided through each phase of the knitting process with ease. Whether you're a passionate knitter looking to expand your repertoire or a beginner aiming for your next challenge, the Baby Bunting Cot Blanket offers a rewarding and enjoyable knitting journey.
