Abimal Blanket
"The Abimal Blanket is a wonderful last minute baby shower gift for that special bundle of joy. The pattern can be easily adjusted to larger/ smaller size and different colours, opening doors to endless possibilities and creativity. The bamboo/cotton blend yarn is the perfect option for an item that gets lots of wear and is washed often. The Abimal Blanket is worked flat, RS facing from right to left, with colours creating overlaying triangular pattern in the centre of the blanket. "
