This month we are featuring a pattern created by one of our very own staff.  Sue, who works part-time at Needles & Knits, was asked to knit a baby blanket for friends who are expecting their first grandchild.
 
They wanted chevrons and elephants and also wanted the colours to be white, grey and yellow.  So Sue, being very creative, designed this baby blanket.  We love it and think you will too.  The baby blanket was a big hit with the new parents!
 
Sue used Berroco Comfort from Needles & Knits Wool Shop.  You will need two balls each of grey and white and one ball of yellow.  She kindly wrote up the pattern to share with you and download.  Let us know if you have any questions. ***Please note that pattern has been updated with corrections on August 17,2016

****STROLLER SIZE PATTERN NOW AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD


Don’t forget to take a look at our new section on the main page called “Classes.”  Registration is at the store.

Hudson Bay Look-Alike Blanket

10/11/2013

Well we thought it would be nice to continue this blog with another free pattern. 

Gus, who is a Needles & Knits customer, brought in this blanket that she had knitted, and Tove and Gus created the pattern together.  The beauty of this blanket, is that it can be made with whatever colours you would like and the tension is up to your discretion as well.  It’s pretty “loosey goosey”.

If you would like to stay true to the colours of a Hudson Bay blanket, you can.  Or if you are knitting a baby blanket, you could change the stripe colours for the pastel colours shown below.  What we are trying to say, is have fun with it!

Send us a picture of whatever your creation turns out to be.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
