Alpaca Pram Blanket Knitting Pattern
A beautifully textured pram blanket featuring alternating eyelet and checkerboard stitch panels framed by classic ribbed borders. The combination of delicate lace and geometric texture creates a timeless design that is both elegant and practical, making it a wonderful choice for a new baby or treasured handmade gift.
Worked flat on a circular needle to comfortably accommodate the large number of stitches, the blanket alternates between eyelet and textured check patterns before finishing with matching ribbed borders. The repeating stitch patterns provide plenty of interest while remaining enjoyable to knit.
Photographed in Alpaca Yarns Tweedie Sox Easy Wash, a soft, machine washable alpaca sock yarn with excellent stitch definition that beautifully highlights both the lace and textured stitch patterns.
