Love From Afar
I’m not usually a huge fan of hearts in knitting, but I love this blanket because it is so subtle. Wrapped up around a wee one, it looks just like a striped blanket, but check it out at an angle or from a little bit of a distance and you can see all the hearts pop up! It is like knitting a little secret! And knitting Cumulus is SUCH a delight! You can find kits here.
The small blanket measures about 24” x 28” - a nice car seat or stroller size, the larger blanket measures about 32” x 36” for a more snuggly, wrap up option. Of course - you can make this blanket as big as you want - you need equal skeins of a solid Cumulus and Cumulus Rainbow if you want to make it larger.
The pattern is both charted and written out, so none of you have to worry about difficulty - if you can knit, purl, and count, you’ll be good! You’ll need a Size 7 32” circular for this blanket. The sample is made with Rainbow #205 and Cumulus 01 This kit includes all the yarn you need for the size you choose and a pattern download code.
