Bits And Bobs

Introducing a heartfelt knitting pattern inspired by the cherished memories of my Mum and Dad. My Dad had an undeniable passion for fishing, and my Mum lovingly crafted him big, thick jumpers to ensure he stayed warm on those chilly outings.

One of my fondest recollections is watching Mum knit those cozy jumpers, using the very same stitch pattern that I’ve incorporated into this beautiful blanket design. This unique stitch produces a wonderfully warm and inviting fabric, making it absolutely perfect for combating the crisp, chilly English weather that we all know too well.

This knitting pattern is not only simple to follow, but it's also incredibly addictive and meditative. Each stitch feels like a joyful tribute to the love and warmth of family traditions. To guide you through your crafting journey, the pattern includes five comprehensive video tutorials which cover all the essential techniques needed to bring this blanket to life.

This project is an excellent way to utilize all those bits and bobs of treasured yarn you have collected over time. Designed specifically to use up every last scrap of your leftovers, the blanket showcases a stunning watercolour effect as you hold the yarn double throughout the entire project. The addition of a beautifully crafted I-cord border finishes it off perfectly, adding an elegant touch to your cozy creation.

Please note that while this pattern may resemble brioche stitch, it is NOT brioche. However, the visual effect is similar, giving your blanket a unique, textured look that you'll love.

I poured my heart into every stitch of this beloved blanket, and I truly hope you find joy in the process as well! Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced knitter, this pattern will provide you with a fulfilling and heartwarming crafting experience. Happy knitting!
