Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran- Baby Blanket

The Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran is a luxurious soft, yet practical yarn making it perfect for blankets, clothing and accessories, and is available in 32 shades

The cashmere and merino wool is blended with acrylic to make it super soft but also machine washable.

I used my Honeycomb Diamonds Blanket pattern to make a small baby blanket measuring 28x32 inches and chose 4 main colours:

Stone (27) 2x50g

Baby pink (603) 2x50g

Grey (9) 2x50g

Lilac (84) 2x50g

plus White (25) 1x50g for the border

In total I used 360g of yarn and used each main colour for 16 rows. You could adjust this to just 1 solid colour throughout or use less rows of several different colours to create a fun striped effect.

I added a simple border using 4 rows of double crochet (UK terms) see pattern for alternative border using puff stitches

Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran is available exclusively from lovecrafts.com and comes in 32 beautiful shades.
