Bitty Bulky Baby Blankets
The five baby blanket designs in this booklet have a lot in common:
each uses 4 skeins of Manos del Uruguay Franca,
all are worked in garter stitch, and any will keep a little one cozy!
•
The yarn is Manos del Uruguay Franca, a superbulky single-ply yarn made of 100% washable merino wool.
It makes a plush, squishy fabric that knits up quickly on big needles.
•
To keep the focus on the beautiful hand-dyed colors, we chose to knit the blankets without seaming or using more than one color at a time.
Exciting structures are worked with simple techniques: although all of the blankets are square in shape, none is knit plain from cast-on to bind-off.
•
Some are worked on the bias, others involve picking up stitches in modular knitting, while one explores a mitered construction.
We wanted to create a collection that has you return time and time again to explore another construction in Franca.
•
We hope you enjoy knitting a bitty bulky baby blanket (or two!) in Manos del Uruguay Franca

Let customers speak for us
from 105 reviewsThis is one of my favorite patterns. Very quick knit, made for my sister's birthday. Now I am going to knit one for myself!
love this yarn - soft and easy to knit ! Great for hats and cowls !
I really like this pattern and learning the Swedish Weave stitch. Hoping to finish this cowl in time to give as a Christmas gift to a good friend. Thank you for the wonderful design!
Easy to follow instructions. I made this for my cousin who feels cold round her neck, she loved the pockets.
I made these mitts in the same colour as the beanie to match, I made it for my cousin's wife birthday, and she lived them both.
This hat was easy to make and fun with its points looking like cat ears.
Haven't started the shawl yet but its next in line project wise, I'm going to make it for my mum.
loved this pattern, enough texture to make it interesting and rows and rows of plain knitting ideal for knitting when you're tired, but can't sit idle
