NEW PATTERN || 3 SKEINS OR LESS - MODERN BABY KNITS

I had the pleasure of designing a pattern for Tanis Gray's newest book 3 Skeins or Less - Modern Baby Knits! This lovely collection features 23 knitted patterns for garments, blankets, toys, and more! The best part is that each pattern in the book takes only 3 skeins or less!! I love that! 



You can find patterns from designers all over the world in Modern Baby Knits. I was thrilled to be in the company of Suvi Simola, Melissa LaBarre, Kate Oates, Rebecca Danger, Melissa Schaschwary, Justine Turner, Svetlana Volkova, Nadia Cretin-Lechenne, Ekaterina Blanchard, Julie Partie, Kelly Herdrich, Taiga Hilliard, Karen Borrel, Megan Grewal, Elizabeth Murphy, Helen Rose, Terri Kruse, Tanis Gray, and Lisa Chemery. 

For my pattern I wanted to design a fun geometric baby blanket that was both modern and textured. It's knit using Cascade Eco on larger needles for a cozy and soft drape. You can see more pics on Ravelry HERE!

I had so much fun working on this pattern! I knew I wanted something that was subtle in it's texture but also fun and graphic. The pattern makes for a stylish addition to any room in your home and can be knit up in many different color palettes. This cozy blanket is sure to be a standout piece that is both addictive and fun to knit up.
