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

from 93 reviewsloved 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
They gave me one of the colors I asked for! Thanks guys!!
I love the pattern. Ordering and downloading was easy. I haven’t made it yet, but after reading through the pattern the instructions are clear. For a novice I think it will provide a great learning challenge and enhance my skills as a knitter.
The ordering & download were easy. I haven’t made it yet, but after reading through the pattern it looks well written and presented and easy enough for a relatively novice knitter to understand.
Everything arrived in wonderful shape and was exactly as I hoped it would be. I wasn't surprised -- I've ordered from this organization for years and years.
They arrived in excellent shape and were everything I hoped they would be ! ! !
Mysteries are exciting - and that's what this shopping experience was.
Beautiful color. Great feel. I can't wait to start knitting.
Great looking yarn. Surprising, vibrant color. Thanks.
I love Serena it is a perfect year round yarn. The drape is always beautiful and it has great stitch definition. Not to mention that every color produced by Manos is magic. The staff at Fairmount Fibers is always kind and amazing! Thanks so much for my recent order! Christy Pyles
