Eamon Baby Blanket
Introducing the Eamon Blanket, a stunning knitting project that effortlessly combines simplistic knitting techniques with a vibrant design to create a beautifully finished blanket. This delightful pattern is knitted in eight distinct strips, which are expertly joined together using the mattress stitch technique. Each strip is composed of eight blocks of color, complemented by an off-centre textured pattern that adds an engaging element of interest to the overall design.
To start, the strips are initiated with a provisional cast-on, ensuring a seamless finish. The stitches at the opposite end are neatly left on a thread, allowing for easy integration into the finished blanket. The side borders are then picked up and knitted out in a cozy garter stitch, providing both durability and aesthetic appeal. Additionally, the top and bottom borders are crafted across the live stitches left at the edges after the strips are joined, showcasing thoughtful construction with mitred corners. These corners are flat-seamed to offer a polished and neat finish, making the blanket a beautiful addition to any home.
The samples showcased use the luxurious Cleckheaton Superfine Merino 8 ply yarn, which comes in 65g balls (covering 130m/142 yds). For your project, you'll need the following yarn requirements:
- Colour A: 5 x 65g balls, approximately 650 m/710 yds
- Colour B: 2 x 65g balls, approximately 260 m/284 yds
- Colour C: 2 x 65g balls, approximately 260 m/284 yds
- Colour D: 2 x 65g balls, approximately 260 m/284 yds
