Emme Baby Blanket to knit

Blanket for newborns

An essential part of baby's trousseau, the Emme Blanket is a design that combines a number of qualities. Warm, soft and lightweight, it provides all the comfort your newborn needs for a peaceful night's sleep.
Measuring 80 x 86 cm, the blanket wraps easily around your baby wherever you go, keeping out the cold and draughts.
The blanket is knitted from Top Hair, a 100% natural wool made from kid mohair and silk. It is edged all round with a pretty fancy stitch.

How do I knit the blanket?

The Emme Blanket is knitted with n°4.5 needles. To knit it, you need to know the basic knitting techniques:

• Cast on stitches
• Knit knit and purl stitches

This easy knitting pattern is suitable for beginners.

The knitting kit

The kit contains everything you need to make the blanket: balls of wool, optional knitting needles and the knitting pattern with all the explanations.
You'll also need a few tools, like a pair of scissors and a tape measure. Visit our Haberdashery page to order your tools.

Care

Top Hair is a top-of-the-range wool that needs a little care if it is to last a long time. Space your washes, use little detergent and never use fabric softener.
Wash the blanket by hand or in the washing machine if it has a wool cycle. Keep the water temperature constant at all stages, from washing to rinsing, and <30°C. Do not rub the blanket, but apply pressure in succession. Rinse with clean water and spin without wringing. Machine spin at <600 rpm.
Dry flat in a ventilated area.
Mohair cannot be ironed.
Store flat in an uncluttered place and move regularly to avoid creasing.
