As you loyal readers know, I can't bear the thought of a baby being cold, so when I learned a friend's baby was due in frigid January, my mind immediately went to knitting patterns!
Given baby Delilah's natural tones-themed nursery, I decided to knit a white baby blanket. The pattern I selected – Moving Mountains (take heed Delilah!) – wasn't quite the right size, so I modified it to create the newborn crib / travel size that I wanted.
The size I created was enough to create a 22 1/2 inch square blanket, which then grew to a rectangular shape post-blocking. Full project details below!
Moving Mountains Blanket for Delilah
Pattern: Moving Mountains by Aimee Alexander, modified to 85 stitches cast on
Yarn: Cascade 220 Superwash, 1.8 skeins in color 871 (white)
Needles: US 9 circular
Measurements: Pre-blocking measurements of 22 1/2 inches square, and post-blocking measurements of 26 inches tall by 22 inches wide
(Don't take my word for it, Delilah loves her blanket!)
