What you need to know

Create a beautiful patchwork-style knitted blanket with Lucinda Ganderton's charming step-by-step pattern.

This gorgeous baby throw by Lucinda Ganderton is made by knitting five narrow strips of patterned squares, separated by white moss stitch bands, then sewing them together to form a staggered square design. It’s backed with soft cotton fabric and finished with traditional pink satin ribbon along the long side edges. The top edge is decorated with delicate lace trim, satin ribbon bows, and handmade pompoms using a pompom maker. Please note: if you're making this knitted baby for a newborn or small baby, avoid adding trims like bows and pompoms for safety.
