A customer requested a blanket and hat for a new baby girl:

nursery is a forest theme.
simple, clean lines, forest green colors, and “not boyish”.
machine wash and dry
small enough for the car seat and stroller
She’s thrilled with the result….squee!

Two colors of green, knit in garter stitch with a “tree bark” brown, crocheted edge keeps it simple. A sweet, orange fox (iron on applique) brings the theme in and ties it altogether.

Deceptively simple pattern with spectacular results!
