Pattern Description:

The original Little Ellie Blanket was made as a welcome to our world gift for my friend Carle's baby boy. Warm and soft, it is perfect for a new baby or even a toddler. Knit in linen stitch with a moss stitch border, the blanket is an easy knit. The applique elephant is also easy to do and the freestyle tree is a little more challenging. I used ColourSpun Pure Cotton Chunky yarn (about 85m per 100g) but it works just as well in wool.

Materials:

ColourSpun Pure Cotton Chunky Yarn - 10 x 100g
Scrap of Black Yarn
Brown and grey quilting or embroidery thread
10mm knitting needles
8mm knitting needles
wool/tapestry needle
small scissors
safety pins
