Flying High Baby Blanket

Flying high is a baby blanket featuring a bold kite in a clear blue sky with brightly coloured ribbons trailing from the tail. The blanket is the pefect size to be used in a Mose's basket, cot, crib or car seat.

The central portion of the blanket is knitted in one piece with the kite being incorporated using the intarsia technique. The tail is stitched at the end using duplicate stitch. Clear, numbered charts are given for the kite and the tail. The border is added using garter stitch once the central portion is complete. Two options are given for the kite ribbons: for the beginners option, the ribbons are knitted in garter st; for the advanced option, the ribbons are knitted in the round. In both cases the ribbons are then stitched in place.

Difficulty: Intermediate (knit, purl, simple intarsia)
