Elephant Parade

Keep your little ones comfy and cozy with our charming Elephant Parade baby blanket, featuring delightful intarsia elephants that are perfect for both boys and girls. This gorgeous blanket is not just a practical choice for your baby's needs but also a beautiful addition to any nursery or playroom.

Inspired by a cherished childhood book, Elephant Parade captures the essence of a loving mummy elephant and her two adorable baby elephants, portrayed with a whimsical ribbon that enhances the design. The blanket showcases masterful intarsia knitting for the main elephant bodies, complemented by intricate embroidered chain stitching that defines the legs, ensuring every detail is lovingly crafted. The Swiss-darned pupils add a sweet touch to the elephants' faces, while the separately knitted ears—crafted in the round to create a double-sided effect—lie flat for a sleek appearance. Plus, the playful earflaps introduce extra texture and are perfect for curious little mouths to chew on!

Designed with versatility in mind, this baby blanket is sized perfectly to fit into a pram, stroller, Moses basket, or crib. It can also be easily rolled out on the floor for use as a cozy playmat, making it an essential piece for any baby's playtime. The blanket features a 2.5 cm (1 in) moss stitch border that helps prevent curling, and this elegant border is knitted alongside the blanket, minimizing finishing work for hassle-free knitting.

The detailed blanket instructions are fully written out, and the colorwork sections are conveniently charted for easy following. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, you'll find joy in creating this delightful piece. Make lasting memories with the Elephant Parade baby blanket, a perfect gift for baby showers or a lovely addition to your own nursery.
