Wishing and Hoping baby blanket

Knitted during a time of great uncertainty, for a good friend awaiting the arrival of a precious and much anticipated baby.

I don’t know if you can knit good thoughts and wishes into fabric but I certainly did my best with this one.

If ever newborn babies needed to be wrapped in good karma this is it - and you don’t get better than a hand-knit blanket for achieving this.

This blanket is a small crib-sized blanket but it can easily be sized up if you have more yarn, or indeed knit in a worsted/aran weight yarn on larger needles. The finished size is 37" x 34" but you could easily add more repeats if needed to make a larger blanket
