Knitting pattern "Guardian Angel Blanket" - easy

The Guardian Angel Blanket is designed for the Des Moines Refugee Support. It’s amazing what they do to help refugee families, especially children, to feel welcome and establish a new life in America.

The blanket shall protect all infants who need a special guardian angel. So I sincerely hope that many many people will knit it and give it to families that may need a little bit of luck and an extra angel in their life… The blanket is a bit smaller than the other blankets that are available in my shop, so they are perfect for preemies, newborns or stillborns.

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!
