The pattern creates a baby blanket from two round granny squares which incorporates a multi-coloured Celtic Knot. All necessary patterns are included with charts.

The blanket will be about 34ins (75cm) square at the suggested tension. A 4.5mm or 5mm hook would be suitable.

Of course the blanket could be made from different yarn but then the size may alter.

The squares could be joined through the back loops but for people who prefer the Join-As-You-Go method, a straightforward way of making the knot stand out against the background is given.

The following quantity of yarn in the six rainbow colours should be more than sufficient.

Red 87m (30g King Cole acrylic)

Orange 87m (30g King Cole acrylic)

Yellow 44m (15g King Cole acrylic)

Green 87m (30g King Cole acrylic)

Blue 87m (30g King Cole acrylic)

Violet 44m (15g King Cole acrylic)

Background - 435m (150g King Cole acrylic) for central portion of design and a further 363m (125g King Cole acrylic) for the border as pictured. About 25g was used for each round of the border.

Use King Cole Big Value DK 50g balls for any colours hard to find in baby yarn.

West Yorkshire Spinners Bo Beep DK baby yarn (50g balls) also has all the colours you would need.
