This one's a simple tuck, but uses lots of baby colors. I alternated white with different colors from partial cones. It takes a little patience to keep threading up different colors, but I enjoyed working on it, and just love the finished results. Note how different the knit and purl sides are, and notice the fold-over edging (which I machine sewed to one side, then hand sewed down on the other side):
After doing so many pastel blankets, the next baby blanket is a change. I purchased louder colors!
A great way to use up yarn, will give this a go soon!
ReplyDeleteI am interested in what type of edging you did as it really makes the blanket
ReplyDeleteThis is a foldover edging I plan to put in the book, and I've also filmed the edging for a YouTube video later this year.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog. I have a brother machine that hasn't been used in 12 years, or when they stopped making them. I have been thinking of starting again but I know my sponge bars are FLAT and won't work. Can you tell me where I can get replacements? I just viewed your sock videos and was enthralled.
ReplyDeleteI got very good sponge bars recently from a seller named "Leanneco" on eBay. The prices were good, service quick, and shipping was reasonable.
DeleteSuch a cute blanket, Diana! I love how the colours go nicely together with this pattern.
ReplyDeleteKind greetings from Austria, Gabriele.
Your blanket is just lovely, Diana. Is this a simple tuck pattern, off of stitch world? With the ribber?
ReplyDeleteI could really use a nice, plain and simple project that doesn't require tons of concentration, counting and computation. I have got about a grillion odd balls of sock yarn that would make for lovely blankets :-)
There is a company called spongebars.com and they have all kinds on their website. I have used them and recommend them
