As I was frequently asked if I could also design a blanket with dogs, here there it is - "Dream Night II".

This little dog feels as safe as every child should feel! Snuggled up close to mummy or daddy, a big sibling or simply a good friend - it's a wonderful way to dream and spend a cosy night.

With this blanket, you can symbolically give a baby or small child your best wishes for many cosy and safe nights. A special blanket like this will be a wonderful reminder of childhood for years to come.

The motif is created only by knit and purl stitches. The pattern explains very detailed and stitch by stitch how you can knit this lovely blanket, so even ambitioned beginners will succeed. And if there should be any questions, I`ll be happy to help!

Here is the pattern for the original blanket "Dream Night" with lovely cats:
