With Phillies baseball season officially starting tomorrow, it gives me great pleasure to release a baseball knitting project.
A blanket for the baseball enthusiast!
It is an easy and fun project to work on while watching your favorite baseball team. The blanket is knit entirely in garter stitch so you can keep your eye on the ball. Three sections are knit separately and then seamed together to form the shape of a baseball. Shaping is created through simple yarnover increases, k2tog and ssk decreases, cast on rows and bind off rows. The yarnovers also serve as a visual guide of where to put the baseball stitching.
Knit one to take to the game today!
Price: $5.00 USD
This blanket would fit perfectly in a baseball themed nursery too!
I originally designed and knit this blanket because I needed my firstborn child to have a baseball blanket. Dan and I are huge Phillies fans. Of course, our daughter would be a Phillies fan too. Already, she shows great enthusiasm for the game.
Go Phillies!
More information about the pattern can be found here or on Ravelry.
