Knitting pattern for a Little Elephant Blanket and Pillow Set, Throw Knitting Pattern matching Cushion, Nursery Knitted Blanket and Pillow

Pattern Language - English

A very cosy and unique blanket/throw and matching pillow set featuring little Elephants with different coloured ears. Perfect for snuggling up on the sofa with your little one.

Easy to knit in stocking stitch and a coloured intarsia chart to follow for the Elephants. There is a moss stitch border around the blanket which you knit as you go along and this avoids the edges curling. The cushion is knitted in one piece with a button opening at the back.
