I just love this stitch pattern and I played around using it with small variations in a few of my designs.
This blankie will be part of the Royal vibes collection - and the size is perfect for a baby car seat cover (baby capsule cover).
This was designed especially for the Jody Long Summer Delight yarn - a luxurious blend of organic cotton and cashmere. Cashmere is known for its softness and warmth, while cotton is breathable and easy to care for. So this blankie should provide a royal treatment to your baby regardless of the season.

If this yarn is not available to you, you might be able to use other light dk (weight 3) yarn that will give you a similar gauge.
I am quite a loose knitter,, you might want to go up a size -4mm needle if you are very firm.

Needles:
3.75mm /US5 /UK9

Notions:
5 stitch markers or more if size is changed
Row counter
Scissors
Tapestry needle to weave in ends
Blocking pins

Finished size is for a car seat/baby capsule cover but instructions are given to adjust for different dimensions or different gauges, just make sure you have more yarn.
Pattern offers written instructions and chart (only RS rows) and will become intuitive after a few repeats.
