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.

A Brilliant Wrap for Minis or Yarn Leftovers

I love a good stash busting project, and that’s the first thing I thought of when I saw the Brilliant Brickwork Wrap by Amy Crumpton.

It’s actually designed to use mini skeins of fingering weight yarn, but I feel like you could use scrap yarns in harmonious colors to get the same kind of effect.

The pattern was written to use 24 colors of 10 gram skeins, as well as a 100 gram/400 yard skein of yarn. But there’s a design modifications section in the pattern that talks you through using 12 colors in 20 gram increments, 10 gram scrap balls or even three full skeins of yarn if you’ve got bigger amounts of pretties you want to use.

The wrap is worked in garter stitch and it’s sort of a log cabin style, where stitches are picked up from the edges of previous sections to build the next piece. It is worked in two sections that are joined in the middle with no seaming required. The pattern includes row by row written instructions and end of row stitch counts so you can keep your place easily.

The designer rates the skill level as for adventurous beginners and beyond. You’ll need to know how to knit, slip stitches and pick up stitches from a slipped stitch edge.

I do love the look that minis give you in this project because they are designed to work well together. (Check out more patterns great for mini skeins and advent calendar yarn.) But being me I’m always thinking about ways to use your yarn stash, and I think with proper planning this would be a great project for getting rid of some of those odd balls. You could also work the wrap in a different weight of yarn for a different look depending on what yarn you have that you need to use.

As written is measures about 14 by 60 inches, or 35.5 by 152.5 cm, but you can adjust the length without too much trouble.
