Our Wonderful World blanket

Welcome to our cozy knitting community! We are excited to share a delightful blanket knitting pattern that’s perfect for welcoming the newest member of your family. This charming blanket was lovingly crafted, just in time for a special occasion, continuing a cherished tradition of creating handmade gifts for grandchildren.

This beautifully designed blanket is knitted in one seamless piece using straight needles and features a combination of seed stitch and garter stitch, ensuring both texture and warmth. To add a personal touch, the motifs are individually created and carefully stitched onto the finished blanket, allowing you to showcase your creativity.

For ease of maintenance, we have chosen a high-quality DK acrylic yarn throughout the project (Stylecraft Special DK), which is soft, durable, and perfect for little ones. The addition of various motifs—created from an extensive collection of yarn in my stash—adds a splash of color and character, making this not only a practical item but also a true work of art.

The entire blanket requires a total of 255g of the specified yarn: 100g for the main color plus between 4g and 20g from 13 additional colors to create vibrant stripes, along with plenty of oddments for the beautifully crafted motifs. This makes the blanket an ideal stash-busting project, allowing you to utilize leftover yarns while crafting a unique piece. We have carefully listed all the colors used in this pattern, but feel free to interpret and choose your own hues to make it truly your own. You can also substitute other DK yarns of your choice for this project.

This comprehensive knitting pattern is available in PDF format across 19 pages. It includes detailed line-by-line instructions as well as images of each motif to assist you in completing the blanket with ease. Whether you’re an experienced knitter or a beginner looking for a fun project, this blanket pattern will inspire you to create a cherished keepsake.
