Baby blankets should be soft, which will eliminate all but the finest wools from your fiber selection. Cotton, or even acrylic, is a great choice as the new mother will be able to machine wash; she’ll never have time to hand wash a blanket!
There are a million ways to knit leg warmers, and they are super easy. A leg or ankle warmer set is simply two matching tubes.
The difference between leg warmers and ankle warmers is length. As you can tell from the names; an ankle warmer fits over the ankle. A leg warmer goes further up the leg, typically to the knee.
These vests are all knit from the top and worked down to length. Short rows performed on the top back yoke give them a nice fit on the shoulders. Very classy to wear. After the top shaping is done you have many options, add llama motifs, an attractive moss stitch strip, or entrelac knitting. With this pattern set you have unlimited possibilities for adding your own favorite knitting stich. You can add anything, color, cables, lace - anything!
