The Chevron Baby Blanket is a simple yet effective pattern. We have knit the baby blanket in The Woven Smooth Merino, colours Mist and Frost. By using just two soft shades, we have created a more muted and minimal look.
The Chevron Baby Blanket is a wonderful pattern for adventurous beginners as it is a simple combination of knit, purl, increasing and decreasing.
