The colours of this cute blanket remind me of spring: a bright yellow sun visible through glimpses of blue sky, and bright pink spring flowers peeping their heads out of the warming ground.

The pattern includes instructions for four blanket sizes: Car Seat/Moses basket, Crib/Pram size, Toddler/Buggy size and Cot size.

The blanket is made in dk-weight yarn (US:light-worsted/AUS:8-ply) yarn and uses chains, double crochet (US-single crochet) and treble crochet (US-double crochet) stitches. I used 100% cotton yarn but it would also be lovely in a light acrylic yarn. You will also need a size 3.50mm (E/4) hook, a yarn needle and a safety pin.

I’ve also included lots and lots of photographs in the pattern to help you along the way.
