Waterlily Blanket

Introducing a charming, small, square blanket featuring a delightful stylised floral design that is perfect for adding a touch of warmth and beauty to any nursery or cozy space. This versatile blanket, made with the suggested yarn, is ideal for babies or can be used as a cozy lap rug, making it a wonderful gift for baby showers or a practical addition to your home decor.

The intricate design of this blanket is crafted using the intarsia technique, which involves handling up to 26 threads simultaneously. To make this project easier, I recommend preparing around 20 bobbins along with 20 stitch markers. These tools will greatly assist you in keeping track of your progress and maintaining organization throughout your knitting journey.

The pattern includes comprehensive charts that outline the textural stitches employed both for the elegant hem and across the body of the design, as well as the main chart for the floral motif. Due to the symmetrical nature of the design, the main chart represents just one-quarter of the entire blanket. Therefore, you will need to read it in both directions for each row and flip it upside down when working on the "top" half of the blanket, ensuring that your beautiful design flows seamlessly.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or a beginner looking to tackle a more complex project, this floral square blanket pattern is a rewarding choice. With its engaging design and practical use, you’ll find joy in every stitch while creating a heartfelt piece that can be cherished for years to come.
