Carnival Carousel Baby Blanket Free Pattern - Estelle Worsted

Inspired by childhood memories of attending a carnival, the design consists of yarn overs that begin in the center and spiral out. Enhanced with fun and engaging colour changes and extra-large button holes that simulate the mirrors on the sides of a carousel that are often reflected in the sun.
