Cashmere Silk Blanket – The Little Heart Blanket

August 12, 2023 by Shellie Wilson

The “Little Heart Blanket” and “Snuggly Favourites” collection is a line of baby patterns that have been carefully curated by Sirdar designers to bring you a collection of beautiful designs for a new generation of Snuggly babies. This collection features their best-selling cashmere merino silk baby patterns that have been re-imagined in the gentlest fairy tale shades of Snuggly Cashmere Merino Silk. This means that you can look out for your own favorite designs, but with a new and updated look.

The yarn used in this collection is a blend of the softest cashmere, the smoothest silk and pure merino wool, which creates a gentle and cozy yarn that is perfect for keeping your baby warm and comfortable. This means that any knit from this collection would make an extra special gift for your most precious new arrival. The combination of these three fibers gives the yarn a luxurious feel, which makes it perfect for a baby blanket, sweater, or hat that is sure to be treasured for years to come.

 

Cashmere is a delicateyarn, so it’s important to handle it with care. To care for your cashmere hand-knitted items, follow these steps:

Hand wash or dry clean your cashmere items, as machine washing can damage the fibers.

Use a mild detergent specifically designed for delicate fabrics. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.

Wash your cashmere items in cool water and rinse them thoroughly to remove all traces of detergent.

Gently press out any excess water, but do not wring or twist the fibers.

Lay the cashmere item flat to dry, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.

Once dry, store the cashmere item folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging cashmere, as it can stretch and lose its shape.

Brush the cashmere with a cashmere comb or brush before wearing to remove any pills or fuzz.

By following these steps, you can help prolong the life of your cashmere hand-knitted items and keep them looking their best.

Bookmark Knitting Patterns

It’s always a good time for a bookmark, and even more so as we start thinking about back to school time. Reading is more fun when you have a pretty bookmark. That’s just science. 

Plus bookmarks are fast, portable, and a fun way to try out different skills. So let’s get busy with some bookmark knitting patterns!

This set of three bookmark knitting patterns from Lucky Fox Knits includes one worked in garter stitch, an easy eyelet lace and one with eyelets running down the center. I love the little I-cord for the tassel!

Add a simple textured stitch to a bookmark to make it a little more fun. This one from Franciscan Gypsy is called the paper towel bookmark, and I’ll bet you can pick it out above just from that description. This one calls for fingering weight yarn. 

Another pretty allover pattern is this slip-stitch lace design from Handy Little Me. Inspired by Taylor Swift’s Speak Now, it’s a sweet little design worked in fingering weight yarn. This one is a little extra fun because it has two tassels. 

I love this undulating wheat ear bookmark pattern from KMKnits Shop. It’s an interesting stitch pattern perfect for advanced beginner knitters, and it uses sport weight yarn. 

A lot of knit bookmarks have a bit of lace, and they’re actually a great way to pick up some lace knitting skills on a tiny project that doesn’t have to be perfect. I like this lacy one from Val Knitting Shop, which is inspired by daisy petals. It calls for fingering weight yarn. 

The Jasmine Bookmark from Valentina Fezova-Georgieva is another pretty lace pattern that’s a little more complex but still totally doable. It calls for fingering weight yarn and is available on Ravelry.

If you want a more literal inspiration of flowers in your bookmark pattern, try the pair of floral bookmarks form Warm and KnittedS. One has a little rosette and the other just has leaves. They look like I-cord but they’re actually worked flat on two needles and will stitch up in no time for a last minute gift or to tuck into your latest read.
