I have had to keep this one under wraps for a while as it is for a new baby.
Made in Drops Extra fine merino in blush (45), desert rose (46) powder pink (40) and off white (01). The stitch is linen stitch (which seems to be a favourite at the moment) made on a 5mm hook. The blanket is 110 stitches wide and 132 rows long, which gave me a blanket of 55 x 68cm, using 330g of wool. That was 2 balls each of the pinks and 3 balls of cream.
The cream stripes are 6 rows wide and the coloured stripes are 12 rows wide; the overall arrangement of stripes worked out quite nicely with the darker ‘blush’ stripes forming the beginning and end of the blanket. This one was a commission based on a colour combination by MJ’s Off the Hook here, so thanks for the inspiration, and welcome to the world baby Eilidh.
