Patchwork Baby Blanket

Patchwork Baby Blanket

Original design

Yarn: Zara by Filatura Di Crosa

Sorry, don’t have needle or gauge information…

For this blanket I chose stitch designs simply based on whether they looked like they were fun to make. I got them from Vogue Knitting and maybe some from 440 More Knitting Stitches - Volume 3, I don’t actually remember. The back lining was knit up with yet another stitch pattern and more Zara. So this blankie is VERY warm, soft and cozy. And colorful! It was hard to capture the colors correctly in pictures, but this yarn is quite lovely. The blanket was for a little newborn, one of my best friends’ baby boy.

    Hi. I love your blanket as I am starting a patchwork one, too. Can I ask how many stiches you did across or how big each segment was approximately? I am doing a bunch of small ones and now I am thinking they are too tiny.

    Thanks!

    Hi Francesca -

    Thanks! This was a fun blanket to make - especially cause I didn’t really plan it out and just made it up as I went along… I can’t actually remember how many stitches I did across. I’ve given the blanket away so I can’t measure how big the squares were, but I would say probably around 5″ or so. And I think the blanket (since it was a small baby blanket) was only about 4 squares wide by 5 squares tall.

    Hope that helps. Good luck with your blanket!

    Hi ,
    I am just starting to knit a baby blanket for my best friend who is due in August.
    How long did it take you to knit each square and how did you stitch it all together?
    Would love to hear from you

    It looks like she used a very wide blanket stitch to stitch her squares together, gives it a neat little touch :)

    Hi, can i just ask how you stitch each of the squares together. I have begun a blanket and have so many squares, i need to start putting them together. Thanks

    Hey jodie smith, I was wondering that too. I am doing plain garter stitch squares and since this is my first blanket I am new to this. I am just a kid anyway. Please post another comment on this page to reply. Plus I don’t know how to do knit stitch anyway. Wow, I’m dumb. No one in my family knits, so I don’t know what to do. Please reply. If you can reccomend a book/website I would be grateful. Thanks!

    Hi ya jodie and daniella! firstly well done for getting stuck into knitting! Its great fun! Don’t woory to much about sewing your squares together, just get a contrasting wool and sew in a cross stitch, it looks great and is quick and easy! or you can crochet them together or use a needle and some yarn and stitch together in a way that looks like the stitches on the square. There are loads of great knitting books out there and its easier to see what i mean if you have some diagrams to follow. My advice is don’t get bogged down in the technicalities! keep it fun!!! goodluck and may this be a life long passion!
