This is a beautiful, scrumptiously soft blanket I designed for a baby girl. However, the design works equally well for an adult sized throw or afghan so the pattern includes instructions for both the baby size and the adult size.

Pattern also includes instructions for the hand knit soft block you see in the photo ... make several!

You will love knitting this blanket. It features a gorgeous yet easy to work "quilted" stitch pattern (same as that used in my Biscuit Blanket pattern) and a thick, 3" seed stitch border. The blanket is edged with a pretty crochet accent and embellished by crocheted flowers.

You can make this blanket using beautiful, yet inexpensive cotton yarn available for about $8 in 1 lb cones. The baby blanket requires 1 1/4 lbs, the adult throw/afghan requires 2 2 1/2 to 3 lbs. Size U.S. 10 circular knitting needle at least 24" long is required, as well as a Size U.S. K crochet hook.

Enjoy!
