The Vacheche Baby Blanket is knitted corner to corner, with an i-chord included from the beginning. The last six stitches of the i-chord are grafted together at the end.

Several knit and purl, and mosaic stitch patterns are included in the design.

This is an ideal project for a stash buster. In double knit cotton, the final size is about 130x130cm. In double knit merino, the final size is about 150x150cm. Final size will obviously depend on the yarn chosen and the personal tension of the knitter.

Kits are available from Colourspun.

If you would rather use any other yarn, the following yarn quantities can be used as a guideline.
• Colour 1 (navy in sample blanket) – 5 balls
• Colour 2 (light grey in sample blanket) – 4 balls
• Colour 3 (mustard in sample blanket) – 4 balls
• Colour 4 (dark grey in sample blanket) – 4 balls

With the official yarn, 4.0 mm and 4.5 mm knitting needles are required. Circular needles with a long cable are recommended. Straight needles will not be suitable.
