A baby blanket featuring cute animal characters. Perfect for the nursery or for snuggling up on the sofa with your little one. The animals include bear, pig, sheep, cow, penguin, cat, owl, badger.
Easy to knit in stocking stitch and large charts to follow for the animals. There is a garter stitch border around the blanket which you knit as you go along and this avoids the edges curling.

I first started to design clothes for my children when they were younger and went on to sell garments through shops and craft fairs. I also taught the use of machine knitting and knitwear design. I later followed a career in IT, but I now have grandchildren and whilst hand knitting for them was inspired to start designing and creating knitting patterns again.
