Flower Baby Blanket

About the Design This absolutely adorable baby blanket is crafted using doubled strands of Cascade Yarns Eco+ Peruvian wool yarn, known for its softness and warmth. The charming yellow center is created using the garter stitch technique, allowing for a textured finish that is gentle against a baby's skin. Stitches are skillfully picked up around the outer edge, forming delightful petals that are beautifully separated and edged with more garter stitch for a cohesive look. The blanket is then worked in the round, adding a nice dimension, until it’s time to define each petal tip with careful shaping.

What baby wouldn’t look even more precious lying under or on top of this cute and cozy blanket? Perfect for keeping little ones warm during chilly nights or for use as a delightful photography prop.

Size: One size – 42 inches from petal tip to petal tip, making it a generous size for babies to snuggle under.

Diameter of Yellow Center: 10 inches Diameter of Pink Center: 30 inches Diameter from Petal Tip to Petal Tip: 42 inches

Gauge: Achieve a precise gauge of 14 stitches and 20 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in Stockinette Stitch using 2 strands of yarn held together and size 10.5 needles—or adjust accordingly to match the gauge. To ensure a perfect fit and desired look, be sure to check your gauge before beginning your project.
