I love free knitting patterns! This one is especially beautiful. The “Come Said Away” baby blanket was designed by Yarnhog (and is featured on her blog here).
I found this beauty when I was searching for things to make for my then still-in-the-belly nephew whose parents were designing a nautical themed nursery. I didn’t end of making the blanket, but my Mom did, and it turned out lovely! As it’s just straight pearls and knits, as long as you can follow a pattern (and count), you can do this blanket! I highly recommend this pattern as a gift for any nautical loving baby!

This is too cute, is this the one your mom made or is it the pattern sample?
Thanks! The photo is from Yarnhog’s blog. She mentioned in her post that it was hard to get a good photo, and she wasn’t kidding! I have one of my sister-in-law holding it, and it just looks like a plain navy blanket. I like knits and pearls together with patterns because they’re subtle, but not great for photos!
This is very beautiful. Love the color too.
