Attic Windows Baby Blanket
Introducing our vibrant and cozy baby blanket, expertly crafted using the traditional Attic Windows quilt pattern. This stunning blanket features squares that are knitted in harmonious light, dark, and medium shades of the same colour, which collectively create a captivating 3D effect that will delight both babies and their parents. One of the best aspects of this design is its versatility; the squares can be seamlessly joined as you go, minimizing the need for finishing, or you can opt to work in strips and join them together at the end for a more traditional approach.
Finished Measurements
This beautiful baby blanket measures a generous 25” wide by 37” long, making it the perfect size for swaddling, playtime, or cuddling up during nap time.
Yarn
For this knitting project, you'll need fingering weight yarn, specifically 85 yards each of 18 different colours, totaling 1530 yards in all. This vibrant selection of colours allows for a rainbow of creativity, ensuring your finished blanket is as unique as the little one it’s made for. The yarn used in the example is from Sweet Paprika Crescendo, a high-quality 100% superwash merino wool that provides exceptional softness and warmth. The sample uses 1 set each of Daydream (A), Buttercup (B), and Pretty in Pink (C), but feel free to mix and match your favourite colours.
Needles
For optimal results, use a size 5 (3.75mm) circular needle, preferably 24” in length or longer, to accommodate the blanket's dimensions and provide ease during knitting.
Notions
Gather the essential knitting notions you’ll need for this project, including a stitch marker to help keep track of your rows, stitch holders or waste yarn to assist with managing your pieces, and a yarn needle for the finishing touches.
Gauge
Achieve the perfect fit for your blanket by ensuring a gauge of 24 stitches and 48 rows equals 4” in Garter stitch, after blocking. This gauge is crucial for maintaining the overall structure and appearance of your finished project.
Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting your craft journey, this Attic Windows baby blanket pattern is an excellent choice that combines style, functionality, and a touch of nostalgic charm. Elevate your knitting projects and create a cherished heirloom for the little one in your life!
