Mia The Lovey

**Note to Customers: Please be aware that all of my patterns use the KLL (knit left loop) or KRL (knit right loop) increase methods. These are nearly invisible increases that help maintain a super clean look of the fabric.** Mia - The Lovey Blanket is a soft comforter designed to soothe, snuggle, and become a little one’s favourite companion from day one. With a sweet embroidered cat face and gentle, cuddly texture, Mia is made for tiny hands to hold, hug, and carry everywhere. Perfectly suitable even for newborns, Mia has no hard parts, only embroidery for the facial features, making it a lovely, baby-safe keepsake for naps, cuddles, and calm moments. **MATERIALS:** Oatmeal DK yarn approximately: 10 - 15 g Peach DK yarn approximately: 15 - 20 g a handful black and pink strong threads for decoration **KNITTING GAUGE:** 25 sts and 28 rows to 10 x 10 cm = 4” x 4” in stocking stitch (knit row on right side, purl row on wrong side) and 3 mm needles.
