A sweet little blankie to keep baby cosy during naps or any occasion. This blanket is knitted on the bias using a combination of knits and purls to create a simple but engaging design. This construction allows easy modification to create a larger or smaller blanket. Yarn over increases are used to facilitate the rolled i-cord edging, while adding a decorative border of eyelets with minimal effort.

Skill level: Intermediate

Experience needed: knit, purl, increasing & decreasing
