A sweet little baby blanket designed for a precious new baby. The Arches Baby Blanket knitting pattern also includes a pattern for a simple baby hat and mittens.

I am not a pattern designer. I simply enjoy playing around with stitches and seeing what happens. If you spot a mistake or have a question please send me a message.

The blanket at 85cm x 73cm (after blocking) is sized to fit a crib, moses basket, carrycot, pram or stroller.
The hat and mittens will fit an average baby up to about 3 months.

Things you may like to know before downloading the pattern.

This pattern is written in a line by line format.
Skills needed are cast on and bind off, the knit stitch, the purl stitch, pass slip stitch over, slip slip knit, knit 2 together, yarn overs and yarn round needle.
The blanket is knit in a single piece.
Pattern repeat is 16 stitches and 16 rows.
The hat and mittens can be knit flat or in the round.
There are 3 download versions available all are the same pattern but with differing numbers of pictures/file sizes

The pattern is easy to adapt for different sizes by adding or subtracting stitches and pattern repeats, or for a quicker knit use aran weight yarn. These changes will affect the amount of yarn required.

Pattern updated October 2019.

Now for the the boring bit.
With respect please do not take credit for the pattern, claim the pattern as your own or sell the pattern. Selling completed blankets is fine but not the pattern or any part of the pattern. If you sell the blankets online please link back to me for pattern credit.
