This is one of the first baby blankets that I designed. It continues to be one of my favorites. It reminds me of delicate lace. I think its perfect for a sweet baby girl. Though I am sure you could make it in blue or gray and it would be beautiful for a baby boy. I hope you enjoy making this as much as I did.

It's a lovely pattern. I'm curious as to how you chose the name for the pattern, as I live near Molalla, Oregon.
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteThank you! For a lot of my designs, I choose the names of US cities :) I pick a state, get a list of the cities, and go from there.
How many dc in the first row? I prefer to use a foundation chain and I can't tell if this is 65 or 67 across.
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteIt would be 67 foundation dc. Thanks!
Hi! What a wonderful blanket! I was wondering if I wanted to make it for a toddler how would I add to the width and length?
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteThank you! For a blanket that is double the width, you can begin with a chain of 136, the dc in the 4th chain from the hook. You will then follow the pattern as written but you will need to repeat from* to * more times than stated in each step because your stitches have been doubled. To increase the length, you will just continue where the pattern ends and alternate repeating rows 8-13 and then rows 2-7. Finish on a repeat of rows 2-7. I would then follow the border but double the stitch counts along the sides. I hope that helps! If you have any other questions, just let me know. Thanks!
thank you so much! :) much appreciated.
DeleteA beautiful little blanket and how wonderful of you to share for free, thank you. I was wondering what the repeat is if I wanted to make it a bit bigger but not double the size smile emoticon
ReplyDeletefollowing your post I want to make it bigger as well
DeleteHi,
DeleteI haven't worked out the stitch count to make it bigger at this point. If I do, I will post it.
Thanks!
You can always switch to a thicker yarn to increase the size. Using a 5 or 6 yarn instead of a 4. Just follow the same pattern with thicker yarn & a larger hook.
DeleteSuch a cute blanket. I will have to try one. Will a 150g of colorA yarn be enough? Thank you
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteI don't think it will be quite enough. I used 1.5 skeins of Loops & Threads Impeccable. This yarn is 4.5 ounces per skein (which is roughly 127 grams). So that works out to about 190 grams of Color A.
Thanks!
I've just finished printing this. I have caron simply soft in orchid. Love it and I think Im going to double it as well. Only 3 skeins of orchid, so maybe will alternate sections with white. Will decide when I get done with first section :) Thank you for pattern I think its beautiful.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing! the blanket came out perfect.. i used a 5mm hook, to make it bigger i've just added 6 dcs between the motifs! the dimensions are perfect, 60x80 cm :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely pattern! Can't wait to give it a go! Just wondering if you have had time to figure out how to make it bigger? Many thanks
