Spring To Life Baby Blanket

"The Spring to Life baby blanket is worked in alternating rows of V stitch and Bobble stitch. Once you have gotten the hang of these two stitches, it is very easy to finish. This pattern calls for Chunky/Size 5 yarn (I used Paintbox Yarns simply chunky) so works up very, very quickly - perfect for a last-minute, hand-made baby gift! The gorgeous green gradient symbolizes new life and makes the blanket ideal for a new baby boy or a girl."

NotesBlanket is worked in alternating rows of V st and Bobble st (see Special Stitches)

Blanket is worked from the bottom up, beginning and ending with a V stitch row

Beginning ch 2 at the start of the V st row counts as the first stitch

Beginning ch 3 at the start of the Bobble st row counts as the first stitch

You can use any weight yarn and hook size with this pattern; sizes will vary depending on yarn weight and hook size used

To make a larger or smaller blanket, adjust your starting chain to any multiple of 2 + 1. (If you are making a larger blanket you will need more yarn than listed above)

If at all possible, I recommend weaving in ends as you go!

Colour changes are done at the end of every row. My method for changing colour is to join the new colour on the last step of the last stitch of the row
