Pattern Description:

A nice simple stitch in an easy to do and contemporary graduated stripe. This can be made in any DK yarn. I used Stylecraft Life DK in classic, but not traditional baby colours. It is one of my favourite wool mix yarns and has a real quality soft feel. What’s more it washes and wears well and doesn’t break the bank. This is a great project for beginners who are looking to progress further.
I’ve made an easy to follow pattern with a chart for those more visually inclined, plus a guide to the graduated stripe pattern.
This makes a great gift that will be used and treasured for years to come.

Not much experience or patience necessary, this one is easy and works up quite quickly

Measurements Length - approx 98cm (30 and 3/4 inches) Width - approx 98cm (30 inches) These are initial measurements before use or laundering and, due to the stretchy nature of the blanket, are approximate.
Materials:

Approx 3 x 100g DK yarn - wool/acrylic mix. You will need less of 100% acrylic and possibly a little more for 100% wool

Colours - Blue Haze, Cream and Fern.
Just think of the other colour ways you could also use. The options are endless.
