Flying High Baby Blanket

Flying High is a beautifully designed baby blanket that features a vibrant kite soaring against a clear blue sky, with bright colored ribbons trailing gracefully from its tail. This delightful blanket is perfectly sized to fit in a Moses basket, cot, crib, or car seat, making it an ideal accessory for your little one.

The central section of the blanket is skillfully knitted in one continuous piece, showcasing the kite through the intarsia technique, which allows for intricate colorwork and visual appeal. The tail of the kite is then meticulously stitched in place using the duplicate stitch method. Clear, numbered charts are provided for both the kite and the tail, ensuring that you can easily follow along with your knitting project. Once the central portion is complete, you will add a cozy border using garter stitch to give the blanket a polished finish.

This pattern offers two options for the kite ribbons. For beginners, the ribbons can be knitted in garter stitch for simplicity. For those looking for a challenge, the advanced option allows for the ribbons to be knitted in the round, adding an extra layer of texture. In both variations, the ribbons are thoughtfully stitched in place afterward for a secure and decorative touch.

Difficulty: Intermediate (includes skills such as knit, purl, and simple intarsia techniques).

Pattern Style: The blanket pattern is fully written out for clarity, and the visual sections are expertly charted for ease of use. Whether you’re an experienced knitter looking for your next project or a beginner eager to explore new techniques, the Flying High baby blanket pattern is a wonderful addition to your knitting repertoire.
