This comprehensive knitting pattern is written in English, utilizing UK terms, and provides clear, row-by-row instructions to ensure even novice knitters can follow along easily.

Skills required for this pattern include: casting on, knitting, purling, and casting off, making it an ideal choice for those who are comfortable with basic knitting techniques. Once blocked, the blanket measures approximately 30x22 inches—you can expect it to gain a couple of inches in size during the blocking process, so keep in mind it may appear slightly smaller before this step.

For this lovely reversible blanket, I used Women’s Institute Soft and Smooth Aran yarn in the beautiful Mustard shade, but feel free to experiment with any yarn that meets the weight and tension requirements. Your creativity is the limit when selecting yarn that matches your personal style!

The tension for this pattern is set at 18 stitches and 24 rows per 4 inches (10cm) square over stocking stitch using 5mm/#8 needles, ensuring a snug and soft fabric that is perfect for a baby blanket. This pattern calls for approximately 240 grams (or 400 meters) of yarn, making it an economical yet impactful choice for your knitting projects.
