About the pattern

Make a woodland themed forest baby blanket for custom leafy décor in a nursery or as a gift for loved ones. The lacy Tunisian crochet leaf design is charted as well.

With an easy to memorize leaf lace stitch pattern, this blanket works up fast in a baby-friendly merino or bamboo-acrylic mix.

The pattern comes with full instructions and a chart and is easy to adjust to make different sizes, based on your gauge and desired size.

Use any yarn suitable for baby items - bamboo, bamboo mix or acrylic yarn, to make it easy to wash.

Size

When meeting gauge and working all rows in the pattern, the blanket measures 80 cm or 31.5” across the top and 106 cm or 42” in length.

For a wider blanket, add multiples of 10 stitches to the starting chain and increase the pattern repeat counts by 1.

Skill level

Intermediate - you will work with eyelets, increases, decreases, repeats of one simple lace pattern. Adjusting the width and height of the pattern is also an option if you are experienced.
