Cameron's Blanket & Hat Set
Introducing Cameron’s Blanket & Hat Set—a beautifully designed knitting pattern perfect for anyone looking to create a heartfelt gift for a little one. This set was lovingly crafted for one of my daughter’s oldest friends, and it's a truly special moment when kids you've watched grow up since the age of 5 start their own families!
The pattern features a simple and memorable two-row repeat that makes it ideal for advanced beginners and experienced knitters alike, providing an enjoyable knitting experience for all skill levels. With the option to knit in either DK or worsted weight yarns, you can tailor this cozy blanket and hat set to suit your preference.
The finished blanket measures approximately 26 inches wide by 28 inches long (66 x 20.3 cm), making it a perfect size for cribs or car seats. For DK weight yarn, you'll need 928 yards with a US #5/3.75mm needle, while selecting worsted weight yarn will require 743 yards and a US #7/4mm needle, both using a 24”/60cm needle. This versatility allows you to choose the yarn that suits your project best!
The accompanying hat is designed with a head circumference suitable for preemies (11-12 inches) and newborns (13-14 inches), ensuring a snug yet comfortable fit. For the DK weight option, you'll need about 75 (85) yards of yarn and US #5/3.75mm double-pointed needles or a magic loop. If you opt for the worsted weight yarn, just 65 (75) yards will do, with the same needle requirements.
Knitting Cameron's Blanket & Hat Set will not only result in an adorable gift but also provide you with a meaningful project that celebrates the joy of new life. Whether you’re preparing for a baby shower or simply want to show your love, this pattern is an excellent choice for creating lasting memories.
