Forest Spirit baby blanket is very light and airy, but warm at the same time. And the colour changes within every stripe are so nice. This project is very easy and is suitable for beginners. Self-patterning Spirit yarn by Scheepjes helps to reach a wonderful effect with the most basic knitting garter stitch.

Level: Beginner

Materials: fingering yarn in 10 shades (I used Spirit yarn by Scheepjes), 4mm/US6 knitting circular needles 80cm, tapestry needle to weave in tails.

Size: approx. 85cm x 110cm (33 1/2in x 43in) when stretched. But you can easily adjust width and height of your blanket.
