Hawaiian Baby Blanket

This beautifully designed blanket is knit flat in one continuous piece, making it a perfect project for knitters of all skill levels. To achieve a polished and visually appealing edge, slip the last stitch of each row instead of knitting it. The blanket features a charming border of garter stitch that surrounds rectangles formed by two triangles, adding an elegant touch to the overall design. For a unique and eye-catching finish, an attached I-cord in a contrasting color creates an interesting border that enhances the blanket's aesthetic.

The finished size of this delightful blanket is a square with sides measuring 33” / 84 cm, making it an ideal accompaniment for cuddling up on chilly nights or adding a decorative touch to your home. The suggested yarn for this project is Sugar and Cream Cotton, which is 100% cotton and perfect for creating soft and durable blankets. You will need two skeins of Golden Mist Ombre (with 608 yards / 556 meters per 340g / 12oz each) and one skein of Overcast (120 yards / 109 meters per 70.9g / 2.5oz).

Overall, the total yardage required for the main color (MC) is between 1115 to 1216 yards / 1020 – 1112 meters, while the contrasting color (CC) requires just 100 to 120 yards / 91 – 109 meters. This versatile pattern is not only great for blankets but can also be adapted for toys, including delightful designs such as Celeste the cat, as well as adorable Bears in PJ and Baby Bears in PJ. So gather your materials and get ready to create a stunning and cozy blanket that will keep you warm and could serve as a heartfelt gift for someone special!
