Eyelet Baby Blanket Nr°2
Introducing my second baby blanket design, a beautiful blend of intricate lacework and classic stockinette, perfect for knitters of all skill levels. This thoughtful combination not only creates a visually stunning piece but also offers a texture that is both interesting to knit and soothing for the eyes. The intricate lace sections add a unique charm, while the simple garter stitch provides a calming rhythm, making it an enjoyable project for both new and experienced knitters.
This baby blanket pattern is designed to be warm yet breathable, making it the ideal extra layer to complement a plain cotton blanket. The delicate holes created by the lace allow for a playful peek-through—a sweet detail that makes it perfect for newborns. Measuring 75 x 80 cm, this blanket can be easily adjusted in width and length, according to your preferences, ensuring a customized fit for your little one.
The comprehensive pattern is provided with instructions in both English and Dutch, catering to a wider audience of knitters. Additionally, for those who prefer visual aids, there is an easy-to-follow chart included that enables a stress-free knitting experience. The lace pattern utilizes a simple 6 + 1 stitch repeat, ensuring that even beginners can successfully achieve stunning results.
For this project, I used 4 skeins of Bamboo yarn from Veritas, a perfect blend of bamboo and cotton that is gentle against a baby's sensitive skin. The recommended 3.5 mm knitting needles contribute to the soft drape of the finished blanket, making it a cozy addition to any nursery.
Stitches required for this project include:

- Slip stitch
