Sweet Pea Baby Blanket

How to interrupt the basic stitch pattern? Add a little twist and some delicate texture. Kim’s baby blanket is a stripey delight that will look great in both colorful palettes and in one shade only. In the bottom photo, you can see the closeup of this piece – I can’t get over how elegant it is.

Iris Stitch Baby Blanket

Choosing a lacy pattern for a baby blanket may be tricky because you don’t want the holes to be too big. If they are, tiny toes and fingers get caught in the openwork – and we don’t want that! Iris stitch is a great choice, as the holes are not too big, and the pattern is very easy to learn. I assure you that you will memorize it after a few repeats.
