Earth Tones Baby Blanket

If you love earth tones and want to share that love with a fall or winter baby this blanket is for you. This little blanket is super thick, with a touch of real wool to help it to be wonderfully warm. The wool does mean you will need to wash it in cold water. The yarn manufacturer claims it won't felt in warm water; but use cold anyway, why take unnecessary risks with your baby's blanket after all.

The most basic pattern imaginable, mostly stockinette stitch with a seed stitch border. It just doesn't get much more basic than that.

Pattern: Improvised
Yarn: Caron Sprinkle Cakes in Pecan Fudge
Needle: 8.0mm

30cm X 31cm
