Rory The Rabbit Baby Blanket

Introducing 'Rory The Rabbit' – a charming and versatile blanket lovingly designed and knitted in Robin DK yarn. This delightful blanket, named after my adorable grandson, is not only perfect for babies but also makes a warm and cozy throw for older children. A fantastic alternative yarn for this project is Paintbox Simply DK yarn, which offers a wide range of colors to suit any decor.

What makes 'Rory The Rabbit' truly special is its adaptability; each square of the blanket is knitted individually, allowing you to customize the size based on your needs. Whether you wish to create a compact baby blanket or a larger throw for a child's bed, the flexibility of this design means you can easily adjust the number of squares to fit your desired dimensions. As such, the amount of yarn you'll need will vary depending on the size of the project you choose.

In my pattern, I've utilized crochet to join the squares, but you may also opt for a beautiful blanket stitch for a different aesthetic. This flexibility in stitching technique adds personal flair to your finished piece while ensuring a secure and lovely finish.

I’ve included helpful diagrams in the pattern to guide you through creating French knots, which I used for the adorable baby rabbits' eyes. Additionally, if you're looking for alternatives, I’ve provided other options for embellishing your squares. To further assist you, you'll find a comprehensive 'How To Guide' on sewing a chain stitch, making this pattern accessible for knitters of all skill levels.

Whether you're knitting for a little one or crafting a lovely gift for a child, 'Rory The Rabbit' is a delightful project that will be cherished for years to come. Happy knitting and enjoy every stitch!

Warmly,

Mandi
