This textured blanket uses just knit and purl stitches to create an eye-catching design that’s also quick and easy to knit. The interspersed ribbing gives it a really lovely drape, like waves on the ocean, and the unisex design means it’s also the ideal gift for baby showers. What’s more, it’s worked all in one piece, so there’s no sewing involved. Instructions are given for two sizes, approx. 60 x 72 cm (24 x 28”) and 73 x 76 cm (29 x 30”), making it ideal for a car seat, buggy or Moses basket.
