I created the Dreaming of Collection of baby blankets, inspired by a Meteorologist’s Dream. Seven baby blankets: one baby blanket created for each individual weather pattern that was included in the original blanket.

This baby blanket was inspired by the sunset and sunrays section of a Meteorologist’s Dream. It features a simple spiral sun with rays shining off into the distance. This is a blanket of hope and serenity.

This blanket is 120stitches x 110 rows, it features a single pattern colour and six background colours. The final size using 4mm hook is approximately 76cm (30in) x 80cm (32in)

Difficulty – Intermediate
