Ariel Counterpane Baby Blanket

Discover the charm of this heirloom baby blanket with our beautifully crafted counterpane squares, each uniquely designed to be knitted in the round from the center out. This versatile pattern provides comprehensive instructions in both charted formats and detailed written text, ensuring that knitters of all skill levels can create stunning squares with ease. To create a generously sized blanket measuring 48 inches by 60 inches, simply knit 20 squares and omit the border—a perfect size for swaddling, cuddling, or as a decorative piece in your nursery.

The knitting process requires the following tools: a set of five double-pointed needles in size 7 (4.5 mm), a size 7 (4.5 mm) 16" circular needle, a size 7 (4.5 mm) 24" circular needle, and a size 7 (4.5 mm) 29" circular needle. You will also need a crochet hook, size H-8 (5 mm) for the initial cast on. To complete your project, have a cable needle and a blunt-end yarn needle on hand for any necessary finishing touches.

For your convenience, the blanket is showcased in a beautiful shade of #451 Dusty Sage, adding a soothing and stylish touch to any baby's room. Whether you're knitting for your own little one or making a thoughtful gift, this heirloom baby blanket pattern is sure to be treasured for years to come.
