Free Knitting Pattern – Feather And Fan Baby Blanket

by

I recently had the opportunity to knit the Feather & Fan Blanket using the free pattern available on the Mary Maxim website. I have to say, it was a pleasure to work on this project. The pattern was easy to follow and the results were beautiful.

I used Bernat Baby Sport yarn, which is soft and lightweight, perfect for a baby blanket. The yarn is also easy to care for, it’s machine washable and dryable, which is great for a baby blanket that will need to be washed frequently. The yarn comes in a variety of colors, which gave me the opportunity to choose the one that I liked the most.

The Feather & Fan pattern is a classic and timeless design that creates a beautiful texture. The pattern is easy to follow and the instructions are clear and easy to understand. The pattern creates a beautiful texture that adds depth and interest to the blanket, making it a perfect choice for a baby blanket.

The finished blanket is soft, warm and cozy, perfect for a baby’s delicate skin. The size of the blanket is perfect for a crib or stroller, it’s not too big or too small. The blanket is also easy to care for, it can be machine washed and dried, which is great for a baby blanket that will need to be washed frequently.

Overall, I would highly recommend this pattern to anyone looking to knit a beautiful and timeless baby blanket. The pattern is easy to follow and the results are beautiful. The Bernat Baby Sport yarn is perfect for this project, and the finished blanket is soft, warm and cozy, perfect for a baby’s delicate skin. It’s a great way to create a special and thoughtful gift for a new parent or to add a touch of warmth to a baby’s room.

Knit a Stunning Shawl That Wears Like a Collar

I’m honestly not totally sure what to say about the Sun King shawl pattern from Ursa Major Knits other than isn’t this cool? You should probably make one. 

This modular design is worked in two parts, the “waxing” and “waning” sections. Both pieces are asymmetrical and use the same yarns in different ways to mix up the colors and make it even more interesting. 

You can choose to use two contrasting solid yarns, a solid and a gradient or two complimentary gradients for your yarns. And you can use any weight of yarn and whatever gauge you like to make shawls of different sizes. There are also a bunch of different size options (seven, in fact) that take the project from a little collar like design to something more like a scarf to a large shawl that wraps around the neck to keep you warm. 

The sample projects use fingering/lace weight yarn, but you can use whatever you have on hand to make your own beautiful version of this shawl. Using lace weight, you’ll need twice as much of one color as the other.

There are lots of yarn suggestions on the pattern page on Ravelry, and I love the color choices the designer made so much I’d definitely be tempted to use the same colors they did (there are a couple of different versions on the pattern page if you want to see how it looks in different sizes and different colors). 

I love the little diamond shapes a the edges of the pieces, which add a little more drama to the project, as if it needed more. 

I’m still not sure this boils down to anything beyond this project looks really cool and you should probably knit it, but that’s pretty much how I pick all the projects I share, so I guess that’s fine. You can check it out for yourself and grab a copy of the pattern on Ravelry.
