While I love the “classic” Navy and White stripe “Nautical” look—I also think this blanket would be adorable with a variety of different colours. Keep the cream coloured base and add a coral colour for a fun and fresh vibe, or change out the navy with a subtle green or taupe for a more neutral and soft look—or simply replace Navy with a soft pink or purple for a stunning baby girl blanket. The options are truly endless and the Shine Worsted yarn used for this blanket has a wide variety of shades suitable to your every need. Colours I’ve got my eye on include: Clarity, Pistachio, Grapefruit, Blush, Hydrangea, Wisteria and Platinum!

Below you will find the written instructions for the seamless circle in a granny square and video tutorial to help you make them. I also include all the yarn quantities I used for my blanket if you’d like a general idea of where to start for making your own! Because this was a personal project and never meant to be a full pattern—I’ve just included the bare essentials to help you plan your own blanket. Hope it helps!

I get asked a lot for this blanket. It was never intended to be a pattern—but here she is anyway! Hope you all love her as much as I do. -M.
