Mombré baby blanket

What do you get when you combine the comforting, textured appeal of cosy moss stitch with stunning gradients of grey? You create a beautiful mossy ombré – or mombré – baby blanket that is irresistibly snuggly and soft, perfect for your little one!

This charming baby blanket is crafted using Blue Sky Alpacas Worsted Cotton, an organic yarn that not only feels luxurious but is also eco-friendly. This makes it the ideal gift for any newborn or growing baby. The generous finished size of the blanket makes it wonderfully versatile and suitable for prams, cots, cribs, and car seats, providing warmth and comfort during those precious moments.

Materials Needed: To create this delightful mombré baby blanket, you will need 5 skeins of Blue Sky Alpacas Worsted Cotton in the following lovely shades: Graphite 625, Ash 643, Sleet 635, Sky 616, and Tulip 615. These muted tones blend seamlessly together to create a serene ombré effect that is perfect for any nursery decor.

Needles: You will need an 8mm 100cm circular needle (US #11 40 inch) to easily maneuver through the stitches and achieve that beautiful moss texture.

Gauge: For best results, maintain a gauge of 9 stitches and 15 rows per 10 cm/ 4 inch square. This ensures that your blanket will turn out just the right size and with the perfect texture.

Finished Size: When completed, the blanket will measure approximately 68cm wide by 80cm long (26 ¾ inches by 31 ½ inches), providing a cozy wrap for any baby.
