Skies over Bristol

Hot air balloons are a beloved and picturesque sight in Bristol every year, especially during the renowned Bristol Balloon Fiesta. To celebrate this vibrant event, I have designed a charming baby pram-sized blanket that captures the essence of these colorful balloons. This delightful knitting pattern not only brings joy but also serves as a fantastic project for those looking to use up their yarn stash. Many of the balloon designs utilize minimal amounts of each color, making it perfect for stash busting.

This pattern has been meticulously test knitted and professionally tech edited to ensure a smooth and enjoyable knitting experience from start to finish. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting, you'll find this pattern easy to follow and highly rewarding. So, grab your yarn and needles, and let’s create a beautiful blanket that celebrates the whimsical spirit of the Bristol Balloon Fiesta. Enjoy the process of crafting this unique piece, and watch as it becomes a cherished keepsake for any baby!
