Setting Sun Baby Blanket
I think this blanket is stunning; a real family heirloom and the perfect present for a new baby. I had enough leftover yarn to make some bobbles but decided in the end to leave them off, less is more in some situations, however, it is always an option!
Sizes: One size, but note that I have given the pattern repeat below so it is easy to upsize. The instructions for the border work for a larger blanket too.
Finished Measurements: 67cm x 57cm (26 x 22 ½” )
Tension: 12 pinwheel pattern rows and (3 sets of pinwheels and 6dc) sts.
You will need: 2 balls of Mrs Moon’s Pudding in each of the following colours: Sugared Almond (CC1), Peppermint Cream (CC2), Darjeeling (CC3), Gooseberry Fool (CC4), Marshmallow (CC5) and Fondant Fancy (CC6) NB. I used an additional ball of Sugared Almond for the final ‘picot’ edge.

Washing
Plump Superchunky and Plump DK are made from the highest quality superfine merino and baby alpaca. These really are special and luxurious fibres and should be treated carefully! Having said that both yarns are suitable for delicate hand washing. Use a specialist detergent and do not agitate or twist the fibres to retain the gorgeous softness and shape of your garment.
Shedding
Because of the roving nature of our yarns (they are single ply, rather than tightly twisted), some shedding may occur. The best way to deal with this is spray your finished garment with water and leave to dry flat, naturally before the first wearing. This sets the fibres and should stop any problems.

Using your yarn
All our yarn comes in skeins. Before using you need to wind the skein into a ball or you will get into an awful tangled mess! If you are not sure how to do this you can watch our video here!
