The arrival of a new little family member is so exciting! I don't know why pastels and neutrals are the go-to choices for baby items these days - I much prefer bright colours and bold prints. Mosaic knitting to the rescue!
Juno, the Roman goddess of childbirth and queen of the heavens, is also a fierce warrior full of energy and youthfulness. Who better to watch over your special little human? Protecting, inspiring and energising; the Juno blanket will remain a comfort for bub for years to come.
Knit up in cotton to ensure washability and practicality for the new parent(s), this small blanket will be the go-to choice for the pram, the carseat, and maybe even just playing on the floor. Choose bright, contrasting colours to really make the mosaic colourwork pop!
Materials/notions required:
Yarn: 6 balls 4 Seasons 'Flinders' cotton 8 ply (50g/115m each) - 3 balls each of complimentary and contrasting colours. Sample used colours 80367086 (orange - MC) and 80367078 (blue - CC)
Needles: 4mm (US 6) circular or straight needles of any length (stitches might be quite squished on 30cm straights but should just fit)
Notions: stitch holders or scrap yarn
Gauge:
23 sts and 48 rows over 10cm in mosaic stitch pattern.
To knit a gauge swatch in pattern: Using MC, cast on 31 sts then knit Rows 1-16 of the mosaic panel section four times. Completed swatch will be larger than 10cm; you should count the individual stitches and rows.
*Gauge is not essential for this project but yarn requirements might vary if your blanket is significantly larger or smaller than sample.*
Measurements:
Approx 54.5cm wide x 49cm tall
