Floral Openwork Baby Blanket Pattern



PDF version for this pattern is available at the Messy Yarn Etsy shop.

Tension/Gauge Stocking Stitch tension 10cm/4 inches = 24 stitches 10cm/4 inches = 44 rows 

Size: Width: approximately 80 cm 

Length: approximately 90 cm 

Materials: 3.5mm (US4) circular needles I used Gazzal Organic baby cotton white (400gr).

Stitch abbreviations (you can find description with pictures for some of the stitches at the end of the pattern) 

P = Purl 

K = Knit 

yo = yarn over 

SSK = Slip, slip, knit. This is a left-leaning decrease. If you are more used to SKP (slip, knit, pass the slipped stitch over), just substitute the SSK with the SKP. The effect will be the same. 

K2tog = Knit 2 together 

s2kpo = Slip 2 sts together knitwise, knit 1, then pass the 2 slipped stitches over the knit stitch (this gives centred double decrease). 

Adjusting the size of the blanket

Should you like to knit a larger size, you could add a figure by adding 12 stitches. Please remember to increase the repeats on each row with the number of the figures you added. For example, if only one figure is added, then a repeat of 12 will become 13, etc.

Gentle Waves Baby Blanket - Crochet pattern

*** This pattern is a property of Messy Yarn patterns. Please do not modify, resell or share this pattern. You can sell finished items made from it, but please mention that the item is made using a Messy Yarn pattern . *** Join me on Facebook,  I would love to see your work! Enjoy crocheting this blanket! Pattern notes PDF version , should you wish to purchase one is available from the Etsy site . Please note that the measurements are approximate. The actual length and width will depend on your tension which might be different than mine and the type of yarn used.

If you plan to add a wide border, simply increase the number of stitches evenly on both sides to your liking. For example, the blanket shown h...
