The Beau Baby Blanket is a comforting, gently textured knit, featured in harmonious spicy tones that bring a contemporary look and a feeling of warmth and reassurance to daily life. It would look equally lovely in the gentle pastels or understated neutrals that also feature in the Scheepjes Kindsome collection.
Knitted flat in soothing rows using only the simplest knit and purl stitches, the blanket measures 75 x 100cm (29½ x 39¼in) and alternates deep bands of stocking stitch with a wide 12 x 12 rib pattern. A seed stitch border frames the design beautifully, offering gentle texture for tiny fingers to explore. The border also helps prevent curling, so the blanket lies smoothly flat.
The Beau Baby Blanket pattern is available in Scheepjes Pattern Portfolio Volume 04: Kindsome, both in print from Scheepjes retailers and as a digital download on Ravelry, in English and Dutch.
