Knitted Baby Blankets: 35 patterns to make

Knit 35 gorgeous and colourful baby blankets, whether for your own little one or to give as cherished gifts.

Features patterns for the nursery, travel and play, from a newborn cocoon to a lightweight shawl and a tactile bobble blanket.

From the first car journey to an outing in a buggy, a knitted blanket will accompany a baby wherever they go. Laura Strutt has designed a teddy bear travel blanket that cleverly folds away into a pillow and a hooded wrap for keeping cosy in a sling.

For the nursery, there is a soft cot cover and a dungaree-style sleeping bag in breathable merino wool – perfect for a peaceful night’s rest.

For playtime, there’s a cotton-backed blanket that can double up as a rug to take out and about and a tiny comforter blanket guaranteed to become their closest companion.

With beautiful yarns, stunning designs and a handy guide to all the techniques you'll need, there is a blanket here ready for you to make and for the new arrival to treasure for years to come in Knitted Baby Blankets: 35 patterns to make by Laura Strutt, CICO Books.
