“Bumblebee Baby Blanket” is an easy knitting project for a weekend. Knit and purl stitches are alternated with small cable work for extra interest. The blanket is light and small enough for a baby stroller.

As this is a blanket, you can easily play with it, making it longer or shorter. 1 pattern repeat is approx 1 cm (0,4 inches). You can either make it a stripy one as I have or you can knit it in one color.

The pattern has written instruction as well as charts and I also included instructions for the stripes as I did it.
