Key Lime Baby Blanket Kit PRE-ORDER

THIS KIT IS A PRE-ORDER (see details below)

This simple, fresh baby blanket is created by combining two-by-two rib and garter stitch in concentric circles. Worked from the centre outward, all the increases occur on knit rounds, which makes the counting easy to manage. The off-white centre and border mimic the look of a sliced lime. This blanket would also be adorable as a lemon (colour 6122) or a watermelon (colour 6123 for the interior and 6135 for the rind, and 6125 if you want to throw in some seeds).

Skill Level: Intermediate
