Zig and Zag Pram Blanket

A bit different to your usual pastel coloured baby blankets, the Zig and Zag pram blanket can be a feast of colour to make a bold statement, or you could use toning colours if you prefer a more subtle look.

I used a selection of sock weight yarn and it's a great pattern for using up odd bits of leftover yarn. You could use any yarns of the same weight.

The finished blanket measures 54cm x 66cm but you could make it any size.

Flossie Bear

When my children were a little younger, I used to knit them teddies from made-up patterns and whatever fluffy yarn they chose from the local craft shop.

Now I have the temptation of Lotus Yarns cashmere sitting in my workshop, I couldn’t resist tinkering with this fairisle pattern, my favourite way of knitting, and Flossie was born.

Flossie is a hugging bear and hence is constructed with no arms or legs to get in the way of affectionate hugs.

Lavender Hearts

Perfect for filling with lavender and hanging in a wardrobe to keep clothes fresh, or keeping with your yarn stash to protect it from moths or giving as gifts
