Promenade Baby Blanket by Stella Ackroyd
Promenade Baby Blanket by Stella Ackroyd
A perfect addition to any baby’s layette, this cellular-style blanket is light and airy – just right to tuck around the little one in their crib or pram.
The pattern is adaptable, so you can make it as large or as small as you wish, but I have specified yarn usage and stitch counts for two classic sizes - 2 x 50gm for the pram size, 4 x 50gm for the cot size. The original yarn is a wool cotton mix and an ideal substitute would be the same number of skeins of BC Garn Bio Balance
The design has been calculated to feature eyelets which lie in perfect symmetry on the fabric and the instructions are easy enough for even a beginner to master.
This is my go-to baby gift and I am rarely without one on my needles for TV or travel knitting; the pattern instructions have been passed around the family for many years and I am thrilled to release them for you to enjoy too!
Suggested yarn is:
Material: 55% Pure Wool, 45% Cotton
Skein size: 50g
Yardage: 225m/50g

A wonderful soft carded yarn from pure wool and cotton. The GOTS certified Bio Balance comes in great melange colors which gives each skein an even more interesting look. This versatile yarn is great for knitting and crocheting baby garments as well as accessories and pullovers for adults. The GOTS certification is a guarantee for sustainability and social responsibility.
The raw wool comes from mulesing-free farms in South America. The cotton is grown in Turkey, where the yarn is spun, too.
