Knitted Baby Blanket – 100% Cashmere – Reds

Coral, burgundy and salmon pink give this striped baby blanket a warm, glowing palette that feels right for winter. In pure cashmere the reds look soft rather than shiny, and the darker burgundy bands keep the brighter coral and salmon from feeling too sweet.

It is knitted in Kathmandu from 100% cashmere, using a fine 28-count yarn in a substantial 4-ply construction. The knit has a fair amount of stretch, so the blanket drapes and tucks easily rather than sitting stiffly. It measures 80 × 80 cm (32 × 32 inches), a comfortable size for wrapping round a little one on the way out of the door, laying over a lap, or folding into a bag.

Reviews of this knitted blanket are for other colourways, and they say the same thing about weight and warmth. One buyer of the Greens called it “Beautiful, warm and light”, and a review of the Browns describes these blankets as “lovely, light and warm”. As a present, the Reds looks lovely against grey or denim baby clothes.
