Nos Da

Meaning ‘Goodnight’ in Welsh, Nos Da is a beautifully textured baby blanket designed to keep your little one cosy and safe throughout the night. This delightful knitting project is perfect for both beginner and seasoned knitters looking to create a lovely keepsake.

Worked in one continuous piece, this elegant design features an integral moss stitch border that adds a touch of sophistication. The central columns of diamond patterns not only provide visual interest for the knitter but also offer tactile delight for the baby, making it a wonderful addition to nursery decor.

This knitting pattern is fully written and includes an optional chart, ensuring ease of use for all skill levels. Whether you are knitting for your own child or making a thoughtful gift for a loved one, the Nos Da blanket is an ideal choice.

You will need 2 skeins to complete the blanket, with an actual quantity used of 414m, ensuring you have a beautiful, warm finish.

Needles: A pair of 4mm needles, either straight or circular, are required, or you may select a size that achieves your desired tension.

Notions: Be sure to gather 6 stitch markers and a tapestry needle to help you expertly navigate your pattern and weave in any ends upon completion.
