This is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. Thank you for the lovely pattern. I'll move it to the top of my 'to do' list. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely, textured stitch. Does "yrn" mean "yarn over"?
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Marianna, it's really pretty! ♥ Many thanks for sharing the pattern. Could you tell me how many yarn (approximately) would be needed for the different sizes? Thanks!

I totally and utterly love all your patterns - have knitted quite a few of them now! Still can't master bootees though for some reason!!! I would love you to do an adult pattern - I find your patterns so much easier than most to follow and would love to knit myself a jumper and so much prefer your "all in one" and "top down" methods as I am hopeless at picking up!!! Will you ever do any adult patterns do you think?!
ReplyDeleteLove the look of the Danika Baby Blanket, but am puzzled a bit by the pattern instructions. Using 151 cast on stitches for 30" blanket. Row 11 starts the row S1, K5 (Slip 1, Knit 5) and ends the row K5. But the pattern in between, which groups stitches in "3's" results in six stitches left in the row, not 5. Rows 12 - 14 all start with S1, K4 and ends K5. Should Row 11 start the same or am I missing something in translating the abbreviations? Thank you. Love this!
ReplyDeleteYes , what does "yrn" mean?
ReplyDeleteHi i looked up "yrn" online and it means yarn around the needle stitch. If you google "yrn" in knitting pattern" there are tutorials. However they are usually done between purl and purl or knit and purl stitches. So I don't exactly know how it applies to this pattern - but it apparently creates eyelet pattern.
ReplyDeleteHope his helps.
I wish there was a video I could follow
ReplyDeletejust do a little sample and you'll teach yourself!
Deletehave fun.
How much wool did you use for the newborn baby blanket? I’ve got DK cream wool and I bought 5 100g balls to do this whole set including the hat, booties, cardigan, mittens and blanket, will this be enough?
