Free Butterfly Knit Blanket Pattern

Butterfly blanket, easy to follow pattern

I enjoyed knitting this blanket as it was a straightforward pattern and all the pieces turned out well. The only criticism I have is that there don't appear to be any instructions on assembling all the side edges of the blanket and sewing onto the main blanket. As I have never attempted this type of pattern before it would be useful to have some guidance on this then I can complete the blanket in the correct way

• I've gone ahead and let our design team know about the lack of assembly instructions. I've asked them to double check that there isn't a page missing. Thank you for bringing this to our attention! As far as seaming goes, mattress stitch is not only ideal but it's forgiving and isn't too rigid. In case you aren't familiar with that, here's our tutorial for it. You'll want to connect the side borders first since they are shorter than the top and bottom. It helps to use locking stitch markers to hold the pieces together. This can help ensure proper placement of each piece which keeps everything lined up how it should be. Once your side pieces are connected, repeat the process the same way with the top and bottom border. It will be easiest to seam once the items are blocked so I highly encourage not skipping that step. I'm sorry for the lack of assembly instruction in the pattern but I hope this gets you back on track and makes future blankets less frustrating!
