Love Grows, Baby!
Introducing the baby version of my beloved “Love Grows” blanket, specifically designed to provide warmth and comfort for your little one. This delightful baby blanket utilizes a soft and washable cotton-wool blend sock yarn, making it perfect for everyday use. Measuring 42 inches in diameter, this blanket is expertly knit entirely in the round, ensuring a seamless and cozy finish.
The self-striping sock yarn adds a vibrant touch, and it knits up quickly on US #5 circular needles, following an 8x repeat pattern that creates stunning visual appeal. The detailed instructions include both charted and round-by-round directions, making it easy to follow along for knitters of all skill levels. This practical yet beautiful design is ideal for gifting or for keeping your baby snug during nap times.
• The project begins at the center with just 8 stitches joined together, and you'll work through 8 delightful repeats around the blanket. • After completing the 109th round, you’ll incorporate a modified “feather-and-fan” edging for an added touch of elegance. • It's essential to perform wet-blocking with this design to achieve the perfect size—block to an impressive 48-inch diameter. Once the blanket is thoroughly air-dried, it will naturally relax to slightly exceed the original 42-inch diameter circle, providing a lovely drape.
This baby blanket pattern is not just a project; it’s a labor of love that will be cherished for years to come. Experience the joy of knitting your very own “Love Grows” baby blanket today, and create a beautiful keepsake that encapsulates warmth and affection for your little one.
