    About

    I first knit this pattern for my niece who is now 3 years old. Her mother loved the blanket so much and told me that I need to knit one for all of the new babies in the family. So - this is the third one I’ve made and I so enjoy knitting each one. I’m going to order more yarn and start the next one after the holidays.

    Needles & Hooks

    • Circular 3.50mm (US 4) 60cm

    Accessories

    • Tapestry Needle
    • Stitch Markers
    • Cable Needle
    Other : I separated the cable sections from the lace sections with stitch markers even though the pattern doesn’t state to do this. It makes checking your work much easier.

    Measurements

    34.5in x 36in

    Notes: I knit the blanket as per the pattern but knit two extra repeats of the lace pattern to get the finished length.

      Hi,

      This looks beautiful! I've just downloaded the pattern and I am going to attempt this (It is by far the hardest pattern I've ever tried!!!) What colour yarn did you use? I wanted to use the pink from the pattern but I can't find that colour in stock!
      Thanks for your help

        I too wanted to use the pink but couldn’t find it anywhere. The color I used was “ivory”. I wasn’t real happy with the color because it was darker than what I think ivory should be. It looked almost grey. However, the yarn was luxurious and a treat to knit with. I knit this another time using light pink in Berroco vintage dk (because I had it in my stash). The yarn is thicker than the “Knit One Crochet Too Cozette” so I used a bigger needle and ended up with a bigger blanket. It wasn’t as luxurious as the one knit with the “cozette” but I was very happy with the color. I enjoyed the challenge of this pattern enough to knit it three times. Good luck and happy knitting.

        @Beverly S: Thank you so much for getting back to me! I have already ordered the ivory as I was itching to start! You are right it does look more like grey! Oh well, we'll see what it looks like when it arrives!
        Thanks again for your help
