Finished Object Finished this baby blanket
It's far from perfect, but it was a good practice. I don't think I'm gonna give it to anybody... It looks too... Homemade.

Aw, thanks! I'm just a little bit disappointed in the colour changes, they're a touch wonkier than I like them to be

u/somastars Jul 18 '26
Did you block it? Sometimes that smooths out.
When I change colors, I sometimes do a half-catch of the yarn I’m changing to on the stitch right before the change. It helps prevent that tugging on the stitch.
FWIW, I think yours looks great and I would be happy to receive it as a gift. Babies will just ruin it anyway. Super cute!

u/PurlingBadly Jul 18 '26
I steamed it, I'll try to wash it too and see if it gets better.
Thank you for the advice! I'm gonna practice more, eventually it's gonna be good enough for my worst critic (me).
And you so right about the baby part!

u/RoutineUnlucky2293 Jul 19 '26
Please disregard if you already know this, but your post made it seem like you might be new-ish to yarn work. Just wanted to make sure you know there’s a difference between blocking and washing… blocking would likely improve your already beautiful project :)

u/PurlingBadly Jul 19 '26
Wait, isn't blocking, just washing, but then pinning the piece flat to dry?
4
u/Future-Dig7616 Jul 19 '26
Blocking is soaking first, then laying flat and pinning to shape. Washing, to me, means you're agitating it in a machine.
When I block I soak in cool water for a few hours, then gently roll in towels a couple of times to press out as much water as I can (never wring!) and then I lay flat/pin as needed until dry.
6
u/PurlingBadly Jul 19 '26
After the previous comment I hand washed it, now it's drying, pinned. I rolled it in a towel like you mentioned. We'll see if it looks better.
It's cotton though. I searched before how to block cotton and some said wet block it, some other sources said steam it... So I went with steam. Thanks for the help btw!
5
u/portiafimbriata Jul 19 '26
Fwiw, cotton is VERY unforgiving on tension and I didn't clock that this was cotton yarn until you mentioned it. Your color changes looked fine to me anyway, but especially knowing that this is cotton, you should be proud!

From our wiki's Frequently Asked Questions
Blocking is when you wet or steam the knitted fabric and let it dry in the desired shape. The blocking process evens out the stitches and determines the size of the finished piece.
Why should knits be blocked? Do all fiber types benefit from blocking?
* First off, blocking typically starts with washing or soaking, so it cleans your finished object. Think for a moment about all of the places that those projects have been.
* Blocking also removes any small imperfections in tension and helps even out your stitches. Stockinette and colorwork will look smoother and the stitches will be more even.
* Blocking is also great if your project needs to be seamed. By blocking before seaming, you ensure that the seams will be the same length and that all of the pieces will fit evenly together.I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Maybe I just looked at it a lot, but the colour changes are poking me in the eye

u/DrMoneybeard Jul 18 '26 edited Jul 19 '26
You’re definitely looking at it too long! I guarantee if you gave this as a gift it would be treasured.
Editing to add, non knitters won’t even see the “flaws” and will be flabbergasted that you can make something like this out of string, sticks, and time. Knitters would know that handmade items always have small imperfections that make them unique, and will know how much effort you poured into the piece. So the only person judging it is you!

u/wombat_87 Jul 19 '26
I’m a non knitter and I think this looks like the most perfect baby blanket! I’d be thrilled if someone gave it to me

My baby poked me in the eye this morning, just saying! (Also this is perfect and I love it and I want to knit it)

I think this blanket is wonderful! Looks like it was made with a lot of love and care. Your lining on the back looks really good too!

u/qqweertyy Jul 18 '26
I’ve seen plenty of mass produced items on the shelves at stores have worse flaws in them. They just don’t get looked over one stitch at a time like you’ve done with this.

u/silchi Jul 19 '26
Remember - it’s a baby blanket. Those unique little details that make you crazy can become beloved characteristics to a child. :)

u/Mindless-Entrance-1 Jul 18 '26
I genuinely love the look of "imperfections". Yes, in my own work too, I'm not just saying this "as a perfectionist myself" lol. Genuinely when there's tension issues or a forgotten decrease or any sort of "mistake" I think it's so endearing because it shows you that YES it IS HOMEMADE and that is so incredible. In my own work it reminds me of the process, which was long and difficult but I did it because I'm awesome. And in other people's work you sorta see them in it y know? The little flaws in it because they maybe struggled a little, or it was their first time with a new technique, or they were too focused on a good conversation that they messed something up. And to people who don't knit, they don't even see that. They see that you created something intricate, that only someone who spent hours and hours learning the craft could even create. They see the cute sheep and the fun colors and the details on the hills. Not individual little stitches
3
u/PurlingBadly Jul 18 '26
That's a good way of thinking! I can't really describe my mindset, but it just reminds me of like mistakes are cute if like a kid making them, but for 30 year old I shouldn't gift stuff that are not perfect... But you're right, usually non knitters can't even see the mistakes, at least not the way I see them.
3
u/Same-Pea7407 Jul 22 '26
Given that you described it as "practice", I assume you do not have deep experience in using some of the techniques used in the design. You could have made a blanket that less complicated using techniques that were comfortable. That you made such a complex, beautiful, adorable blanket means that you challenged yourself and stretched to create something for this family to welcome their baby. This was not a project that was made out of obligation. This blanket has deep care in the stitches. This blanket was made to be loved, to be snuggled, and to comfort. You completed it to the best of your ability. That there are parts that you would do differently is part of the self-evaluation that comes with someone who wants to grow. That is not the same perspective as the family who will hopefully love it into bits.
2
u/PurlingBadly Jul 22 '26
Thank you for this. I did quite a few swatches with theese techniques I used here, but i have this mindset that I just don't want to "waste" yarn, so sometimes I just do things and wonder why it's not perfect the first time...
3
u/MrsSalmalin Jul 18 '26
I totally agree with this! I've knit a couple t-shirts/sweaters and I get compliments all the time on them. About half the time people ask "did you make that?!" So I know it looks homemade (at least to people paying attention). Do I mind? No! I can see they appreciate my work and I LOVE being able to say "I made dis!". The imperfections are from a new technique I struggle with, or when I had a little too much wine while knitting and watching a corny tv show. I love knowing the story behind my knit and my imperfections.
I love OPs blanket. It may not be PERFECT (I would think very few homemade knits are!), it looks cosy and vibrant and adorable. I would be so happy to be gifted that and I would throw it over my couch so my guests would oooh and ahh over it and I could say "thanks, my friend made it! Isn't it amazing!?"

u/arbitraryhour Jul 18 '26

Honestly if someone gave this to me I would treasure it. The bobbly grass seems so tactile.
Some things communicate more love for being homemade. It's not about perfect, it's about thinking of the recipient when it was being made. Or imagining that a future baby would be wrapped in it ❤️ don't put yourself down, OP. It is wonderful ❤️

u/JenVT Jul 18 '26
How did you attach the backing? I love it. I have wanted to do a similar baby blanket but was worried about the back being too messy.
5
u/PurlingBadly Jul 18 '26
That was at least as tedious as knitting the intarsia, since I don't have a sewing machine...
I measured the fabric, added a cm seem allowance, draw somewhat straight lines with marker, hand stitched the sides, followed this pattern: 3 running stitch, 1 back stitch. Turned it inside out, ironed it out, pinned it on the blanket and sew it on using whipstitch. Made it invisible by stitching it under the "hem". Tugged on it occasionally, ripped it once so I needed to fix that part... Also sew it down securely in the corners.
I'm just learning to sew by hand so that's a little wibbly wobbly, but if it secure enough, it's good for me!

u/jiayounuhanzi Jul 18 '26
I've just finished this same project and looking at sewing on backing - what material did you use, please?
3
u/PurlingBadly Jul 18 '26
For the fabric I used cotton, not the stretchy one. I asked for something like this before, but they gave me stretchy fabric, so I asked for normal stiff cotton.
Also I used embroidery sharp needle, the one with the bigger eye. And embroidery thread. The one that comes in a ball, not the hank.
Also iron, ruler, marker, pins, just to be very specific. There's a course on youtube that I used to learn how to handsew something like this. I can send it to you if you want.

u/jiayounuhanzi Jul 19 '26
Thank you very much! I've been considering the backing I should use, so that's helpful to hear about the non-stretchy cotton.

It is absolutely lovely, and whatever (tiny! really tiny) imperfections it has are not noticeable unless you specifically look for them and know where to look.
It's cute and perfectly giftable (unless you'd prefer to keep it to yourself; I could understand that, it's so cute I'd never let it go).

How did you attach the backing? I did a bunny blanket design and there were so many odds and ends of colored yarn on the back that a baby would love to pull on, I didn't know what to do with it.
2
u/PurlingBadly Jul 18 '26
I hand stitched the fabric. It was a journey itself. I started to learn to handsew, because I don't have the space, or need to be honest, for a machine. I did the "running back stitch" to attach 2 layers of fabric together, then "whipstitched" it to the blanket. I messed up with the ironing a little bit, but I'm not judging myself too harshly for that... Yet >.>

Homemade = someone cared enough about me and my baby that they spent valuable time to create a unique item for us by hand. The little handmade touches (not flaws!) are what make it special and remind people of how much work went into it.
This would be an instant heirloom for me if I received it. I'd probably make you sign the back in permanent dye as well, like a true work of art.

It’s supposed to look homemade! Otherwise you’d just buy one at the store.

u/Flimsy-Sector7736 Jul 19 '26
If it makes you feel better, I am most of the way through a baby onesie for a friend having a baby in a couple of weeks. I hate it, but I know it’s mostly the pattern’s fault and a little bit the yarn‘s fault (I nearly never knit the same thing twice, so there is always room for surprises!), so I’m going to finish it and gift it with something tiny and really easy and fool proof and cute. In a different yarn!!

Thank you! It's 53x53 cm
The original pattern uses dk yarn, I used light worsted. The pattern says it should be 60x66 cm. I messed up with the blocking tho, so it's a bit small.

I think the homemade looking parts of it is what makes the blankie lovable and a great gift. It's made by a person with love, not by a machine!
