Dorothy Helen baby blanket

My mum, now in her late eighties, has been an avid knitter for as long as I can remember. She lovingly taught me how to knit, an experience for which I am incredibly grateful. Her passion for knitting is unwavering, and she dedicates each day to creating beautiful items such as blankets, hats, and cardigans for the premature baby unit at our local hospital. This baby blanket pattern is inspired by one of her classic designs; it features a simple garter stitch knitted on the bias, showcasing her timeless creativity. Knit in a soft, pure wool 4 ply, this lovely baby blanket not only offers warmth and comfort but also incorporates a delicate eyelet pattern throughout the main body. The addition of a charming picot bind-off edging elevates this piece, transforming it into a relatively straightforward project that boasts a vintage, heirloom feel. Perfect for both novice and experienced knitters, this pattern allows you to create a heartfelt gift that will be cherished for years to come. Download this free knitting pattern today and embark on your own knitting journey while honoring a beautiful tradition.
