While Shelley & I were creating our Timeless Collection we wanted a blanket that was super simple.
We decided to slightly modify our Simple Stripes Blanket and work it all one colour.
The result, a timeless blanket to be treasured for years to come.
And I am delighted to offer it to you as a free pattern.
We used just under 700m of beautiful New Zealand merino to create our in-store baby blankets.
The baby size measures approximately 60cm (24 in) wide by 70cm (27.5 in).
To make a cot size blanket measuring 80cm (30 in) wide by 105cm (40 in) you'll need approximately 1400m of yarn.
With our 4.00mm hook, we have a gauge of 3.5 2DC groups wide x 4 DC rows high in 5cm.
So let's get to the pattern.
