A modern, minimalist baby blanket worked in a simple repeating
stitch pattern with a delicate eyelet row appearing every
fourteen rows. Soft, rhythmic and satisfying to knit — the kind
of project for evenings on the sofa.

Worked flat on circular needles, with a garter stitch border on
all four sides and a textured centre.

The blanket is knit on larger needles than usually recommended
for worsted weight. This is intentional: it creates a soft,
lightweight fabric with beautiful drape.

SIZES
Finished after blocking:
Baby — 65 x 72 cm (25.6 x 28.3”)
Small — 80 x 88 cm (31.5 x 34.6”)
Medium — 91 x 99 cm (35.8 x 39.0”)

YARN
Worsted weight
Baby — approx. 600-640 m (655-700 yds)
Small — approx. 950-1000 m (1040-1095 yds)

One extra skein is always a good idea.

Wool or wool blend works best. Cotton and bamboo are not
recommended for this pattern.
