Dolphins Illusion Baby Blanket

Dolphins are a beloved motif, captivating people of all ages and making them an ideal choice for your next knitting project. This versatile dolphin blanket is perfect for a baby, child, or adult, showcasing a charming design that appeals to everyone. While the blanket is displayed in a child-size format, you're welcome to customize it by adding a wide border, allowing you to create a blanket of any size you desire.

The featured dolphin blanket requires approximately 600 meters of yarn in each of two colors. For this particular pattern, I used Stylecraft Special DK in the lovely shades of Duck Egg and Petrol. If you wish to add a wider border or adjust the size, simply keep in mind that you may need additional yarn. Feel free to experiment with any type of yarn, but remember that different thicknesses might affect the overall size of your finished blanket.

Illusion knitting is a fun and accessible technique that anyone can master. If you can knit basic stripes, you can definitely create this enchanting blanket. When viewed straight on, the knitting appears as a series of stripes, but when looked at from an angle, the stunning dolphin image becomes beautifully revealed. It's a delightful surprise that adds an extra element of fun to your crafting!

This knitting pattern comes with three different versions of the chart for your convenience: one version on a single page, a split version divided into four sections, and a third version specifically designed for easy viewing on hand-held devices. This versatility ensures that you can follow along comfortably, no matter how you prefer to work.

As one of over a dozen illusion baby blankets available on our site, this dolphin blanket stands out as a delightful addition to your knitting repertoire. Be sure to explore our other unique designs and patterns to find the perfect project for your next cozy creation. Happy knitting!
