A charming blanket pattern knitted in 8ply (double knit), with 2 size options - cot or stroller. The larger size uses about 11 x 50g balls, the smaller uses 6 x 50g balls. The stitch pattern is relatively simple for the beginner to intermediate knitter, and suits boy or girl.
Knitted all in one piece makes this blanket a joy to knit with no laborious edgings to make afterward and no sewing up. Just thread through the ends. TIP - when joining new yarn, make sure you join at the inside edge or the side bands rather than the outer edge, which keeps the edge neat.
The slightly large needles makes the knitting quicker and the gives the blanket a lighter, airier feel.
