Imagine being wrapped up in a cosy blanket, drifting away to sleep, listening to the gentle sound from waves rolling onto shore… August blanket is designed to bring dreams about sailing the seas and becoming an astronaut to little ones. Knitted in super soft yarn, you can knit your own dreams into the blanket and add new colours as you please.

Skills needed for the blanket are knit, purl, increase and double decrease (explained in the pattern). MillaMia Naturally Soft Merino offers a wide range of colours for you to choose from. The chevron pattern and the stripes can easily be modified.
