Description

Knit a beautifully cosy striped baby blanket using Pure British Romney Lambswool DK yarn.

Developed especially for Romney Marsh Wools by Sarah Hartles, one of our talented knitters and friends, this pattern contains the instructions you need to create your own lambswool baby blanket. Helpful images show the different stages of the project as you work.

The pictured blanket uses three complementary natural shades of Romney Lambswool DK: Ecru, Light Grey and Dark Grey. You can follow this classic colour combination or select your own shades to create a more personalised blanket.
