Checker Block Baby Blanket Knit Kit
Checker Block Baby Blanket Knit Kit
Create a beautifully textured baby blanket featuring a patchwork-style arrangement of classic knitted blocks. Stocking stitch, garter stitch, lace details and raised bobbles combine to give the blanket its distinctive checker-block design.
The blanket is worked flat in one piece, with garter-stitch rows separating the different patterned sections. Knitted in soft, machine-washable Crucci Luxury Merino Crepe 8ply, it makes a warm and practical blanket for a new baby and a special handmade keepsake.
