Colorful Cotton Blankets for Baby
Mar 27th 2024
When you come into our shop, we love to hear about what you're currently working on - and more often than not, our customers are looking to start a baby blanket that will work up fast for an upcoming baby shower.
That being said, we have the perfect project for you! Sliding is Fun by Darn Knit Anyway is a stroller sized baby blanket that only uses the knit stitch. This quick knit uses 2 skeins of Juniper Moon Farms Cumulus yarn - an aran weight Israeli Mako Cotton and Nylon blend that's a cuddly as can be. We recommend pairing a ball of Cumulus Rainbow with a coordinating skein of Cumulus Solid to achieve the fun striped look featured above (sample shown in Prismatic Kaleidoscope and Atlantis).
Sliding is Fun is a free pattern on Ravelry - but for a limited time we'll include a copy with any 2 ball purchase of JMF Cumulus and/or JMF Cumulus Rainbow.
Not sure what colors to choose? We recommend heading over to the Sliding is Fun project gallery on Ravelry - there's so much inspiration to be found there! With 15 shades of Cumulus Rainbow and over 25 colors of Cumulus Solid in stock, the possibilities are truly endless.
Another perfect project for JMF Cumulus is this squishy little baby blanket. We chose to use the Cumulus Degrade for this project, which offers a more tonal gradient than its rainbow counterpart. The ombre color transitions of this yarn are visually stunning, and really shine in this simple pattern.
This quick garter stitch blanket takes just 2 balls of Cumulus Degrade. To achieve the look featured above, we started the blanket with the inside/darker end of the ball, and then when we switched, we joined the outside/light end of the ball to work the second half.
We will include a free copy of this blanket pattern with your purchase of 2 balls of JMF Cumulus Degrade for a limited time!
