The latest of the baby blanket called "Sweet Valentine" due to this vibrant Raspberry Sorbet color you want literally munch on. This time I tried a new yarn, Madelinetosh Merino DK, in Vermilion color.
I always like to knit garter stitches for baby blankets but it is a bit boring to knit 100 garter stitch row so I designed it with a little twist ☺
the "Sweet Valentine" blanket is available for purchase in my Etsy store
Blanket size is 50 by 50 cm, or 23 by 23 inches
Supply: 1 skein of MadelineTosh Merino DK

Thank you for the pretty pattern! I will be making this as a scarf since there are no babies in my life.
ReplyDeleteHow do I make this bigger
ReplyDeletedepends on if you just want to make it longer, wider, or both. if you just want to make it longer just repeat the pattern until 1 1/2 inches before desired length then do the finishing steps and bind off. If you want to make it wider it this pattern has a 7 stitch repeating pattern + 9 stitches. so when casting on cast on your 9 stitches plus 7 stitches for repeat in the pattern. hers has 10. so for example if you want to double the width you would 140 +9 =149 total cast on stitches. and repeat for approximately 100 rows then start the finishing rows and bind off. I hope this helps. I know i'm late to the party. but it may help someone else wo is wondering the same thing or allows you to make it.
ReplyDeleteI think that since this is such a small blanket I will add 2 straps to the sides with buttons so the can rolled up snug. and make a nice lighter car blanket, privacy blanket, etc. something for on the go when a actual blanket or afghan wouln't necessary be needed
