I love this stitch pattern and have enjoyed experimenting with small variations in a few of my designs. This blankie is part of the Royal Vibes collection and is perfectly sized for a baby car seat or capsule cover. It was created especially for the Jody Long Summer Delight yarn—a luxurious blend of organic cotton and cashmere. Cashmere adds softness and warmth, while cotton keeps it breathable and easy to care for, giving your baby a touch of royal comfort in any season.

If you can’t find this yarn, other light DK (weight 3) options that match the gauge will work. I’m quite a loose knitter, so if you knit firmly, you may want to size up to 4mm needles.

Needles:
3.75mm / US5 / UK9

Notions:
5 stitch markers (or more if adjusting size)
Row counter
Scissors
Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
Blocking pins

The finished size fits a car seat or baby capsule, but instructions are included to adjust for other dimensions or gauges—just be sure to have extra yarn. The pattern includes written instructions and a chart for RS rows, and it becomes intuitive after a few repeats.
