Liliwen Baby Blanket

Next year looks set to be a colourful one for the little folk, and if the forecasters are right then we will be seeing stripes and pops of colour on all the children's items next year: summer dresses with layers of brightly contrasting shades, and paint­box splashes of colour on little shirts and nursery items.

So here's a new baby blanket pattern that is right on trend. This is the Liliwen Baby Blanket and it is worked in a wonderfully soft cotton yarn, Rico Creative Cotton DK. I love this yarn. It is easy to work with and the colours are just so bright and cheery. It is also a perfect weight for the warmer seasons, when babies just need a little extra layer to keep them warm.

The blanket features bright candy stripes of pink and yellow which would be a lovely choice for a little girl. However, the yarn comes in a wide range of colours and a royal blue / aqua combination would be great for a little boy.

The Liliwen Blanket is worked in Bamboo Rib, an interesting stitch taken from our Reversible Knitting Stitches book. The stitch has a strong, vertical patterning resembling stalks of bamboo, and is easy to knit so the blanket works up quickly.

The pattern includes three sizes so you can make a small blanket for baby's first Moses Basket/Bassinet or either of the two larger sizes as they grow into their next sizes of bed.

Until next time, Happy baby knitting!
