Wrap the Newest Family Member in a Sweet Baby Blanket
Are you looking for an heirloom gift for a new baby? A sweet handmade blanket will be treasured for generations. In the Sweet Baby Blankets episode of Knit and Crochet Now!, Annie's experts share two delightful options.
Greetings, Stitchers!
Mary Forte here, your Knit and Crochet Now! update editor. I'm so excited to share the details from episode seven of season 11. I always learn so much from each episode. This time I was extra excited to learn about weaving separate strips of crochet fabric through lace.
Check Out the Sweet Baby Blankets Episode!
At the start of the Sweet Baby Blankets episode, co-hosts/producers Connie Ellison and Lena Skvagerson introduce the experts.
Crochet expert Toni Lipsey covers the sweet Pastel Ribbons blanket, while knitting expert Kristin Omdahl covers the Happy Baby Blankie.
In the Technique Corner, Lena explains how to work the seed stitch block of the Novo Block Crochet Afghan.
Adults Need Snuggly Blankets Too
Babies aren't the only ones who love snuggly blankets. Everyone loves to wrap up in a warm blanket when it's cold. A gorgeous option is the Gothic Rose Afghan. You can learn how to make this afghan with the expert guidance of designer Rohn Strong over five video episodes starting Jan. 8, 2021, on Annie's Creative Studio.
