Knitting for Olive – Olive's Blanket Knitting Kit
Designed by Pernille Larsen – Knitting for Olive
The Olive Blanket is a beautifully delicate baby blanket designed by Pernille Larsen for Knitting for Olive. Featuring a soft, intricate leaf motif, this heirloom‑quality piece is perfect for keeping little ones warm and cosy.
Worked in the round from the centre outwards, the pattern is charted and offers a gentle challenge for knitters ready to explore lace motifs and circular construction. The initial rounds can be worked using either double‑pointed needles or circular needles with the Magic Loop technique, depending on your preference.
Knitted in Knitting for Olive Merino, the blanket is wonderfully soft, lightweight, and gentle against sensitive skin — an ideal choice for newborns and young children.
