Can anyone find me a pattern for a baby blanket?

soon2bjobless

Hi - I have just found out I'm going to be a granny again and went to hunt out my old faithful knitting pattern for a babys blanket and cant find the thing anywhere. My mum made it for me and I made it for my 3 kids and 1 grandchild.

Its knitted in squares and sewn up - each square has a part of a leaf and when they are sewn up its really nice.

Its a bit like this one here - http://www.vintagepurls.net.nz/Downloads/StitchJan1951PramCover.pdf

but its just the leaf bit

Anyone any ideas where i might get a copy on the net?

cheers

Linda

Hi Linda, I just tried to find it on Ravelry, but the only pattern that came up is the one you linked to. Are you on Ravelry? They have a forum you can post your sort of request on . If you aren't, give me a few more details and I could post for you, see if anyone recognises it. Worth a try.

I have that pattern and have used it many times you can still get it in local wool shops.
Have you tried ebay?

Can you post the name of it, wool company or any other details to help us find it? I am on a mission now!

Congratulations soon2bjobless.:T
I think I still have this one here, sorry pics not good but you get the idea.
I can't check at the mo as everyone's asleep.
As far as I'm aware copyright says I can lend you the pattern but I must not copy it and pass on. So if I can find it and it's what you need I could post to you, if you'll be so kind as to post it back when finished(No hurry) I'll not have grandchildren for a long time yet:rolleyes:

OOoooo I love this forum! Soblivion thats very much like the exact pattern - my mum hand copied it from a pattern in the 50's - if you let me know your address and I will send some stamps. I think that she must just have done plain garter stitch as the sides werent as fancy as that - thats maybe why she hand copied the pattern

Thank to everyone for the links - I'm on Ravelry and had to scroll through 48 pages to find the pattern I did!

cheers

Don't worry about stamps, really no need. Could you just pm me address and I'll post it off to you.
