Garter Ripple Stitch Pram Blanket Knitting Pattern (K3033)
A textured baby blanket knitting pattern featuring rhythmic garter-stitch waves, designed for 4ply yarn.
Create a lightweight pram blanket with a flowing ripple pattern and softly textured garter-stitch fabric. The Garter Ripple Stitch Pram Blanket is knitted flat using simple, repetitive rows, making it an enjoyable project for knitters who are comfortable following increases, decreases and a repeating stitch pattern.
The design is especially effective in a long-gradient yarn such as Sesia Iride 4ply Organic Cotton, where the changing colours flow naturally through the waves.

Before You Start with Iride
The white leader yarn at the ends of an Iride cake is waste yarn. For a centre pull, remove the white leader before starting. If working from the outside, stop before the final white leader section and discard it. Do not knit or crochet the white leader into your project.
Yarn Requirements
| Yarn weight | 4ply / fingering weight |
| Yarn required | Approximately 900 metres |

Needles and Notions
- 3.50 mm circular knitting needle with an 80 cm cable
- 3.75 mm needle for casting off
