RAINBOW RIPPLES Buggy Blanket
Discover the delightful world of knitting with our charming pram/buggy/cuddle blanket pattern, designed specifically for little ones. This easy-to-follow pattern utilizes Paintbox Simply DK yarns, making the most of the handy 10g balls and the expansive selection of colors this collection offers.
The blanket requires a total of 232 grams of yarn, consisting of 100 grams of white and 132 grams of your chosen colors. For my own version, I crafted an eye-catching blanket featuring 18 unique bands of color, using approximately 8 grams of each to achieve a vibrant rainbow effect. However, feel free to customize the pattern to suit your style! You can alternate color bands, incorporate graduating shades for a stunning dip-dye effect, or simply opt for one main color paired with white—the creative possibilities are endless.
The finished blanket measures approximately 26.5 x 25 inches (67 x 64 cms) and is knitted flat in one piece using straight, single-point needles. This makes it an ideal project for both beginners and experienced knitters looking for an enjoyable challenge.
The captivating ripple effect of the blanket is achieved through an 8-row repeat pattern, consisting of 6 rows of Garter stitch (where you knit every row) and a simple pattern row that is repeated twice. This not only adds texture but also infuses life into the design, making it perfect for any baby’s nursery.
To add an adorable touch, the garden bugs featured in the pattern are knitted separately and then sewn onto the finished blanket, enhancing its charm and whimsy.
Our comprehensive pattern is downloadable in PDF format and spans 6 pages, ensuring you have all the guidance you need at your fingertips. Whether you are looking to create a heartfelt gift for a newborn or add a splash of color to a child's room, this knitted blanket pattern is a wonderful choice. Start your knitting adventure today and create a cozy masterpiece that will be cherished for years to come!
