Free Knitting Pattern – Feather And Fan Baby Blanket

March 10, 2023 by Shellie Wilson

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.

Stitch Your Favorite Fruit on a Sweater

The other day I saw a post from Pinterest about trends for summer and it said one of them was “cultivating whimsy.” 

Well, I don’t know where Pinterest has been all this time, but we’ve been cultivating whimsy here at Craft Gossip for a long time. I love sharing projects that are a little different, things that make you smile when you see them, and will make you smile when you knit them and wear them or use them. 

Such it is with the Tutti Frutti tee knitting pattern from Bea Creative Knits. 

This cute little baby tee is worked top down in the round with contiguous shoulder construction to shape the sleeve caps. There are short rows for the neckline and folded hems with picot edging at the hemline, neckline and edges of the sleeves. 

All of this would be great on its own, but then there’s the addition of a super cute fruit icon, which is added with duplicate stitch. There are a lot of options, including strawberry, banana, orange, cherries, watermelon, lemon, blueberries, kiwi, peach, dragon fruit, apple and pear, so it’s likely you can add on your favorite fruit. 

It is offered in eight sizes, to fit a bust measurement ranging from 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) to 56-58 inches (142-147 cm). The design is meant to be worn with around 6.3 inches/16 cm of negative ease, but you can choose the fit you prefer. There’s also optional bust and waist shaping included in the pattern if you want to make it even curvier.

This is considered an advanced beginner or intermediate project because of all the skills involved, but it’s sure to be a lot of fun even if some of these techniques are new to you.

Grab a copy of the pattern for yourself form Bea Creative Knits on Etsy.
