Touch Yarns - 033 - Baby Blankets Pattern

A blanket makes a beautiful gift for a new baby or a knee rug for the couch, and as well as being practical they often become a sentimental keepsake. This pattern includes very popular three styles of baby blankets.

To fit:

style 1: Patterned baby blanket, based on the old jacket every baby had. Size approx 56 x 80cm

style 2: Nursery blanket with cables. Size approx 67 x 85cm

style 3: Plain garter stitch; we've worked ours in three colours but of course you can knit it in one colour or use up your leftover yarn for a multicoloured blanket
