All funds raised from the sales of my patterns will be donated to the International Red Cross to help the Ukraine!

ALL prices have been raised to $5.00 US, even patterns which normally I have offered for free, and will remain at that price point until Putin and his minions GTF out of Ukraine.

#In honour of my new Granddaughter Violet!

Violet Dreams baby blanket is a simple but lovely feather and fan motif, framed with coin lace and a garter stitch edging. I embellished it with a few crocheted flowers… makeshift violets but I have not included how to make them.

This would also make a wonderful lapghan or afghan.

Size: 24” x 36” (61 cm x 91.5 cm.)

Materials: Cashmere/Merino 6/15NM Heavy DK/Aran wt. 250 to 300 grams Peony (Any worsted or light aran weight yarn would achieve a similar size.)
4.5mm needles

Gauge: 22 st and 22 rows = 4”/10cm over patterned stitch.

Gauge is not important as this is easily made larger or smaller by adjusting your stitch counts.

Pattern repeat is 24 stitches so if you would like to adjust the size of the blanket or you would like to use a lighter/heavier weight yarn, add multiples of 24 stitches to the initial CO.
