Colour-Mix Baby Blanket - DK Knitting Pattern - PDF

Each square in this patchwork blanket is knitted from the same simple textured pattern, when put together they make a striking blanket which looks just as good on the reverse as it does on the right side.

The size is easily adjustable by simply adding more squares.

An ideal take along project as each square is knitted separately, it is also a great project to use up leftover yarn foremother projects.

The stitch pattern is suitable for a beginner knitter and seaming the squares together is easy; full instructions with pictures are given in the pattern.

The blanket is ideal for car seats, strollers and prams and measures 56 x 70 cm / 22 x 28 inches but is easily adjustable to suit.

✢ Yarn used: Paintbox Yarns Baby DK - 167 m / 50g - 5 Balls in total, one ball in each colour.
