Beautiful blanket for a baby knitted in either DK, aran or chunky. Sizes are below - the small one would be perfect for a car seat and the other two for prams, moses baskets or cribs. There are five different motifs in rows to look like a Victorian sampler.

The instructions are written assuming three colours are being used – however you can use just one or as many as you like. For the chunky and aran a 100g ball of each colour is enough, although it is easier to use a second ball for the left side edging, if not then roll some off your main ball before you start. For the DK a 50g ball of each colour would be enough.
