Patches crib - pram baby blanket
Welcome to this delightful knitting pattern for a baby's crib or pram blanket, featuring a charming moss stitch border and beautifully crafted stitch motif patches. This special design was created while eagerly awaiting the arrival of my first baby, making it a heartfelt project that you can cherish too.
This cozy blanket is knitted in one continuous piece using worsted weight, 100% cotton yarn. For this pattern, I recommend Rowan Handknit Cotton DK, which provides exceptional softness, stability, and stunning stitch definition—ideal qualities for a baby blanket. The cozy texture is perfect for keeping your little one warm and snug during their early days.
If you're interested in using alternative yarns for this pattern, you certainly can! As long as the required tension is achieved, you can choose any worsted weight cotton yarn that suits your taste. To assist you in your selection, I've included a list of possible alternative yarns in the materials section.
The finished size of the blanket will be approximately 55 cm x 70 cm (21.5" x 27.5"), making it the perfect size for cribs, prams, or even as a lovely decorative throw. This versatile knitting project is not only practical but also adds a handmade touch to your nursery décor.
Skills required for this pattern include casting on and binding off, knitting, purling, and the ability to work from a row-by-row knitting chart. This pattern is suitable for knitters of various skill levels who are eager to create a beautiful and functional piece for a newborn.
For convenience, you will need a set of 4 mm (US size 6) needles. You can choose to knit this project on straight single-point needles or use a circular needle for back-and-forth knitting, depending on your personal preference. Whether you're an experienced knitter or a beginner looking to expand your skills, this pattern is an enjoyable and rewarding project to embark on.
