I have designed this pattern using knit and purl stitches only so if you are new to knitting it is the ideal starter blanket and if you are more experienced you can sit and relax while you make something lovely.

If you want to make a larger blanket, I have explained how to modify the blanket in the pattern so you could even make one as a treat for yourself!

I have used Paintbox aran yarns in this pattern which come in LOTS of fabulous colours. It is one of my favourite yarns because it’s reasonably price yet still incredibly soft and always receives compliments whether it is a vibrant colour like Red Wine or softer tones like Summer Blue Sky. The pattern uses 3 balls of yarn with enough leftover for a small project like some mittens to match.

I have also included by email address in the pattern so if you have any questions about the pattern or need any help, please feel free to get in touch. Enjoy!
