PATTERN PREVIEW: Baby Blanket knitting pattern. November 2024.
A take on the famous ‘Grandmother’s Favourite Washcloth’ this cosy blanket is quick and easy, suitable for beginners. It is intended as a snuggle / baby blanket but could easily be made into a larger throw.
Both my Grandmothers were avid knitters and also both named Chrissie, I’m sure they would’ve been familiar with the original washcloth pattern.
