A cosy cream blanket completed with a delicate rainbow border. This sweet blanket is perfect for a baby boy or girl. Designed using the classic ‘granny square’ pattern, it is ideal for beginners as only the basic stitches are needed. The colour sequence is provided for you but you could of course use whichever colours you wish!

Here are the colours I used (all Stylecraft Special DK) and the approximate amounts of yarn you will require in each:

  • Cream (100g)
  • Clematis (20g)
  • Wisteria (20g)
  • Cloud Blue (20g)
  • Aspen (20g)
  • Spring Green (20g)
  • Saffron (20g)
  • Shrimp (20g)
  • Pomegranate (30g)
