A very positive experience, extremely stress free.
Brilliant pattern, good, clear instructions. Blanket makes up in no time. Have already made two and will be making more pretty soon.

This is another take on my car seat blanket featuring lace border, tiny butterflies pattern and contoured shape.
I included photographs to support various stages of this blanket project as well as written instructions and charts.
The blanket can be knitted either in one colour or in two - with contrasting border. I used James C. Brett baby DK yarn and used only one skein (pink one). Depending on the yarn brand and length per ball you will need about 300-310m.
I used 3mm needles however if you might used to knit DK yarn with 4mm needles. Please work to your usual gauge for DK.
You will also need tapestry needle to assemble the blanket.
I have written this pattern for your personal use only, which means you cannot resell the pattern nor blankets made using it for financial gain.
Thank you!
FEBRUARY 2020 UPDATE: there was a typo in written instructions to row 7 for the main part, however the chart 1 is correct. The pdf has now been amended and you should have the correct version in your library.

Brilliant pattern, good, clear instructions. Blanket makes up in no time. Have already made two and will be making more pretty soon.
Pattern was easy to read with useful tips about how to keep the pattern consistent. The photos were very helpful. The neat shape and size of this blanket will mean that it won't drag on the floor if the car seat is put down.
Beautiful pattern. Knitted up really well and communication with the writer of the pattern was excellent. Due to my own inexperience, I contacted her a few times for guidance and she was always very helpful. Thoroughly recommend her patterns.
Very easy pattern to follow, knitted item is gorgeous
This is a very pretty design but is advised to use 3mm needles with DK yarn with gauge 19stsx24 rows. This is totally wrong. The usual needles for DK are 4mm and 22sts and 28rows. Consequently I have had to reconfigure the whole pattern.
Lovely pattern. Easy to follow.
Lovely pattern. Very easy to knit and completed in a couple of days.
Beautiful pattern, brilliant size for car/carry seat
Very Happy with my ourchase this is a gorgeous pattern great instructions
The pattern specifies DK yarn. Tension varies depending on /brand and yarn and number of balls needed is reliant on length of yarn in each ball. Without specifying a brand and yarn it makes it more difficult to achieve desired size. As it is a blanket, was easy to adapt the number of stitches and rows to achieve correct tension square. Changing needles to a larger size made the blanket too loose and stitches too large. Baby likely to catch fingers in holes. Easily adapted but needed to work out...
