Wrap a little one in gentle waves of texture and colour with the Rainbow Waves Baby Blanket Knitting Pattern.

This intermediate knitting pattern includes two blanket versions in one PDF. Create a beautiful rainbow-inspired intarsia blanket using soft pastel shades, or knit the elegant one-colour version for a timeless cable baby blanket.

The blanket is worked flat and knitted in one piece, including the seed stitch border. Flowing cable panels create the distinctive wave effect across the blanket, making this a rewarding project for knitters ready to build confidence with cable techniques.

Whether you're knitting for a new baby, a baby shower gift or a treasured nursery keepsake, Rainbow Waves creates a cosy blanket full of texture and charm.
