Ravelry: my notes
Added Notes:
1. I decided to use up some stash yarn to knit this baby blanket while I was on a recent road trip. It was an easy, enjoyable pattern to follow and it grew quickly, due to the worsted weight yarn. I am not a fan of knitting with cotton, but I have to admit that the finished project is perfect for a baby blanket. I was impressed with the quality of the Blue Sky Fibers Worsted Cotton.
2. I decided to use the Random Stripe Generator to pick a unique combination of stripes. Following the suggested combination added more fun to the project.
3. I got four chevron sections from each skein. I had to go into a second skein of the gray as I added a fifth chevron section for that colour.
4. This pattern is found the Espace Tricot Website as a free pattern. They have quite a collection of free patterns. I had forgotten how many free patterns they offer. Definitely worth a check.
There are so many pretty baby blankets published on Ravelry. The next time I need to make a baby gift I would like to knit Fly Away by Tin Can Knits. There are so many beautiful versions. Do you have a favourite baby blanket you would recommend?
