Looking for an alternative to the Call the Midwife blanket but love the sweet simple lacy look? Here is a modern ripple or chevron Midwife inspired pattern you will love.

Yarn, Gauge, Hook

You can use any yarn and hook. For best stitch definition choose a hook size that gives a tight rather than loose gauge.

Photo sample: Sirdar Aran, 100g; 235m (257 yds) with a 4.5mm / G 7 hook.

Baby blanket: You will need approx 4 x 100g balls; 940 m/ 1028 yds Aran weight yarn.

Throw blanket: You will need approx 10 x 100g balls; 2350 m/ 2570 yds Aran weight yarn.

These yarn amounts are a guide only and will vary depending on your exact yarn choice, hook and tension.
