This stunning baby blanket has been created for The Yarn Cafe by Sarah Hazell and uses 5 colours of Bo Peep yarn from West Yorkshire Spinners, to produce a wonderfully soft feel. The pattern is a geometric shape repeated in stripes and suitable for anyone who can perform double trebles and multiple decreases in crochet. The blanket is worked from side to side.

The pattern has been written using UK crochet terms, rather than those from the USA.
