A striking but simple to create a shield baby blanket knitting pattern for those Captain America fans. Perfect for boys or girls, the shield is a perfect emblem for a newborn.

Knitted in DK yarn, the finished size is 65x55cm but can easily be enlarged by adding more rows and columns- I show you where to add within the pattern.

The pattern is simple to follow, and uses 150g of white plus small amounts of red and blue so perfect for a stash buster.

Instantly available as a PDF after purchasing, the pattern includes:

• chart
• full written instructions
• photographs

It is knitted in intarsia, a type of knitting which uses multiple colours to create a pattern or image. This is a great starter knit for those new to intarsia.
