Colour Dipped Baby Blanket Knitting Pattern

A soft garter stitch baby blanket with a simple shape and a touch of colour at each end. Knitted from corner to corner in Unravelled Oi 8ply Merino, the Colour Dipped Baby Blanket combines a textured main colour with two contrasting corners. The repeating knit rows make this a grounding project, while simple increases and decreases create the rectangular shape. A good next step for knitters comfortable with the knit stitch who are ready to try shaping. Designed by Sheryl Nicholson, founder of Unravelled. Digital knitting pattern only.
