Start a family tradition by knitting an heirloom quilt for a newborn baby. The New Traditions Baby Blanket is knit with Comfy Sport, a lightweight cotton acrylic blend that is both soft and machine washable. This knitted blanket combines craft traditions; the design is inspired by star quilt blocks. The geometric shapes are picked up and knit off the edge of each other, to easily build a complex looking patchwork square with minimal seaming. The colorful design is appropriate for babies of either gender. Measures 26” x 35”.

Kit includes two 50 gram balls each of Comfy Sport in Peony, Marlin, Seafoam, Crème Brulée, Silver Sage, and Honeydew, three 50 gram balls each of Comfy Sport in Fedora, Cashew, and Ivory, along with pattern instructions for blanket. You will need US 4 (3.5 mm) straight or circular needles.
