Uneliaisen ajan mandala-vauvanpeitto (virkkaus)

The yarn’s self-striping effect is even prettier in person, and the center-out construction keeps the stitches looking neat on both sides. My baby kicked it off a few times, but it’s soft enough that I don’t mind tucking her back in.

The self-striping yarn makes it look way more intricate than it actually is—I’m a beginner and the center-out pattern was easy to follow. It’s the perfect weight for a stroller or car seat, not too heavy but still cozy.

It's so soft and airy that I keep picking it up just to feel the yarn, even when the baby isn't around. The way the stripes shift as the center grows outward makes it look handmade in the best possible way.
