| Description | Every leaf tells a story – of gentle beginnings, quiet strength, and the steady unfurling of beauty. Tender Bough features a leaf-like lace framed by graceful ribbing that blossoms into the lace pattern. Knit the baby size or a cozy throw as you savor those sweet moments: the first sleepy stretch of a newborn, the soft sigh of a loved one wrapped in warmth, the simple joy of giving something made by hand.* Instructions are written and charted. Finished Sizes Width x Length: 32½ x 36½ (38½ x 45, 47 x 53¾)” / 82.5 x 92.5 (98 x 114.5, 119.5 x 136.5)cm Shown in Baby size.

Needles • US 5 / 3.75mm needles* • US 6 / 4mm needles* The blanket can be worked on either straight or circular needles.
