Wrap your little ones up in love with the beautiful Alwyn Blanket.

New babies deserve the very best, and this cosy blanket really fits the bill! Simple cables and travelling ribs combine with wrapped stitches to make an heirloom piece that will be treasured for years to come.

The pattern contains guidance on adapting to different weights of yarn, from fingering to bulky.
