"Wicker basket" pattern set
NOTE: The “Wicker Basket” knitting set features an adorable collection of 3 patterns: a cozy blanket, a charming baby bonnet, and delightful baby booties. Each pattern is specifically designed for soft wool yarn and is ideal for confident beginners looking to enhance their knitting skills. For your convenience, the sizing instructions are expertly color-coded to make following the patterns simple and hassle-free.
The blanket is crafted both flat and in the round, offering a seamless experience as you knit it in one continuous piece. The project begins with a central area worked flat, and then you transition to knitting the side parts in the round. This beautifully designed blanket is embellished with unique fantasy patterns that add a touch of whimsy, making it the perfect keepsake for any baby.
Next, the baby bonnet is constructed flat in one piece, utilizing a delightful garter stitch pattern. The design features a wide neck opening for comfort and practicality, and it can be secured with charming knitted ties, ensuring it stays in place on your little one’s head.
Completing the set, the baby booties are crafted seamlessly from the top down using the innovative “magic loop” technique. This method allows for easy handling of small circumferences, and the booties can be beautifully secured with knitted cords, making them both functional and stylish.
By creating this adorable “Wicker Basket” set, you will not only produce three lovely items but also acquire valuable knitting skills, such as:
?? mastering the “magic loop” technique for efficient small-diameter knitting;
?? creating inviting “bubbles” for added texture and interest;
?? preventing stockinette stitch from curling, ensuring a polished finish;
