I’m not much of a knitter. I started this blanket for my younger daughter about three years ago. The unfortunate thing is that I used #6 needles and cast on 200 stitches or something ridiculous. The blanket was left in an odd long rectangular shape, so I cast off, cut it in half (by sewing a zig-zag stitch over some bias tape before cutting) and made two blankets for the girls, backed with this Liberty of London fabric. My kids are three and five, but still sleep with their blankies, so here are two more. At least this project is done!
These turned out a bit wonky, so I’m definitely not one to give instructions on how to sew knitted material to cotton fabric. But there’s a nice blog post from the purl bee addressing the subject.
Lovely! I am in the process of designing and making a blanket backed with my fabric and your persistence is inspiring. I always love Liberty prints too. Thank you for sharing this.
