I decided to knit a baby blanket for my best friend Diane's new arrival Millie. Now a few months have gone by and I am still working on it. So I thought I would share the pattern with you all as it may help to give me the incentive to finish it. Or it may not!
The pattern itself is very easy and makes for very rewarding and quick process, I really love the leaf design it is so simple to do and makes you feel quite clever too!

This pattern can be knitted on any size needles and using any type of yarn. I used pink double knit (DK) yarn from Yarnfair and Knitted on 4mm / 8 UK / 6 USA needles. It looks lovely knitted up all in one colour, but I am sure it would also look great in a patchwork of many colours!
Enjoy!

Hi Penny! Thank you for letting me know, I'm sorry you have had trouble with the counterpane pattern, I've no idea what happened there, though I think I have fixed it now, fingers crossed! xx
DeleteUm.....you mean an incentive to finish it,right?
ReplyDeleteWhoops yes I did, thank you for letting me know!
DeleteIt's very pretty, though, and I'm thinking about trying this pattern out, from my counterpane book of patterns. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteThank you Nancy! Yes it is a nice little pattern and surprisingly easy to do!!
DeleteHow many balls of wool would this take?
ReplyDeleteI have this pattern in amongst my patterns. I started and got a little sidetracked with sewing (quilter). I made enough to turn into a cushion cover and the comments are amazing. I will make some more then start the blanket.
