One #craft project I've managed to complete these summer holidays is this cot blanket. I #knitted it using Zealana Heron (colour H03 'Lichen'), which is 80% merino, 20% possum fur. This is for friends who are expecting their first child in April and both work in pest control - I'm hoping they will be pleased with the additional use of the possum fur!
It's a basic basket weave pattern that I'm sure most knitters could easily work out, but for anyone like me who would rather work from a pattern, you can find it here: https://www.lovecrafts.com/en-au/p/hans-baby-blanket-knitting-pattern-by-katherine-vaughan
A close up of the basket weave pattern on the knitted blanket. The texture mimics blocks interweaving between horizontal and vertical sections, like the sides of a woven basket.
A large knitted cot sized blanket laid out over a couch. The couch is a pale blue/green colour. The blanket is a light green colour with a knitted texture to mimic the woven sides of a basket.
