The blanket is knit flat with a simple seed-stitch border, while the hat is worked seamlessly in the round, making the lace pattern easy to follow even for confident beginners. Together they make a perfect newborn gift set or keepsake project.

Patterns include full written instructions, charted lace, gauge guidance, and notes on adapting the patterns to your size/gauge.

This is a PDF pattern only, not a finished object.

DIFFICULTY
Advanced beginner to intermediate. For the blanket, lace pattern on both the right and wrong side of the work, so if you are a beginner I recommend starting with the hat. A lot of beginners have made the blanket with great success without the hat, so please to feel discouraged. I now also have several videos to illustrate the process.

MATERIALS
400g Hobbii Twister Solid (55% cotton, 45% acrylic, 400m/100g = 437 yd/3.5 oz) – 4 skeins. You can use any other sports weight yarn that gives the same gauge
Knitting needles
For the hat depending on your preference, you can either use circular needles and magic loop technique, or DPNs:
3mm/ US 2 ½ needles
75mm/ US 2 needles.
For the blanket: 5 mm (US 7) circular needles recommended, at least 80 cm (32 in) cable, to accommodate large stitch count.
Notions: Stitch markers (optional but highly recommended), tapestry needle for finishing, blocking pins and mats.

SIZE
Newborn.

Hat finished measurements unstretched – 15 cm/6in wide by 13 cm/5 in long. Blanket finished measurements – approximately 75x75cm / 30×30 in.
