Gillian's Blanket

Gilllian’s Blanket is named for a friend who loved knitting and ran a yarn shop. The yarn comes from the yarn shop she used to run. WYS Bo Peep yarn is a good baby yarn as it is washable and shows texture well. It is also budget friendly.

This blanket can use scraps for the coloured stripes or be knit all in one colour. The ‘Hugs and Kisses’ add interest and texture.

Only knit and purl stitches are used.
