Knitting, Baby Shower Edition
My friend is having a baby and said hand made gifts were welcome at her shower. So I did some knitting!
First, the front of the blanket:
And now the material for the back…
Together…
And a little something else for fun:
Pretty cunning, dontcha think?

I LOVE the little Jayne hat!! That’s what I thought it was when I saw it. And the quilt is adorable too – is the fabric “Babar”? You’re rocking the yarn, lady!

Would I be able to get the pattern you used to knit the union jack blanket? 🙂

Emma,
Just click on the title in the post “Union Jack Pattern: Debbie Bliss” and it should take you to the web page for the pattern.
Happy knitting! 🙂
Emma
That link just brings you to ‘UNION JACK CUSHIONS’ is that the same pattern you can use for making a blanket?
I’m suppose to find a pattern for someone else to make, I’m not too sure what to be looking for exactly! 🙂

Oh, sorry to be confusing. Yes, I used the cushion pattern with bulky yarn on #11 (US) needles. I added 4 rows at the bottom, and 4 stitches before and after the pattern and 4 rows at the top to “frame” the flag in blue.
Hope that helps!
🙂
