This piece of knitting is a close up of detail on the bassinette blanket that I made for my grandson, Connor. It comes from the ruthieknits 'Berries and Cream' range. My first knits for young children in this range were for girls, and were consequently resplendently pink, red and mauve/purple. I needed to create something a little different for Connor, given that everything he would be given would be in 'boy' colours. I wanted this blanket to blend with his other stuff. Here it is, 'blueberry ice', perhaps?The completed fabric is made with a mix of pure wool and mohair/wool/synthetic mix. All the yarns and soft and light. I used one of my favourite stitches, 'Blackberry' stitch (or 'bramble'.) The edging is crocheted.
