Description
🧶 Deep navy, soft cream, and the Southern Cross worked large across the blanket in its true shape.
A quiet, beautiful blanket with a cream garter border — the night sky, knitted for a baby.
📖 WHAT'S INSIDE
• Blanket 70 × 80 cm (154 stitches × 240 rows), Cross centred in the field at true physical aspect
• Full chart plus top and bottom half charts — and all 127 star rows written out in full
• Yarn totals table up front, counted stitch by stitch: Navy 7 × 50 g balls, Cream 2 (DK)
• Construction, gauge and colourwork guidance, plus finishing, blocking and baby-safe care
• Gauge 22 sts × 30 rows = 10 cm, 4 mm needles; cream garter border worked in as you go
⭐ THE CROSS, DONE PROPERLY
The Cross is charted from the official flag construction and measured back off the grid: exactly five cream stars — Alpha at the bottom, Gamma at the top, Beta to the left, Delta to the right and higher, and Epsilon, the smaller five-point star, between Beta and Alpha. The four main stars are seven-pointed. No scatter, no stylising — the pattern's accuracy note shows the numbers.
🌿 THE AUSSIE BIT
Generations of little Australians have slept under these five stars. Knit the blanket once and it becomes the family heirloom that comes home from the hospital in photos.
