Lacy Chevron Baby Blanket

Surprisingly, this sweet little blanket is simply a 2 row repeat pattern !!  

It is an easy-to-knit, slightly lacy version of a chevron stitch.

I made a tiny one for a baby born too soon and thought it would be a lovely doll's blanket too! 

I enjoyed knitting this so much that I am now knitting a bigger size for a newborn baby.

Lazy Daisy Angel Baby Bunting
adapted and knitted by Stephanie Sim

She adapted it from one of my Angel Gown patterns - and it is so cute - I just had to share it ! 

Thank you so much Stephanie Sim for allowing me to share your adapted pattern.

I made my bunting longer than Stephanie's by adding extra rows and an extra buttonhole.
