BikeBookBread Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Anyone know where I can find yarn that knits or crochets into a military green camo pattern? Would rather use natural fibers of good quality. Not afraid to spend a little big of $$$ on this one...they are very, very good friends, and also a military family. It is for a baby blanket :001_huh:. Yep, my friend and her husband want a green camo baby blanket. I think I could crochet golden yellow stars, emblems, etc. and applique them onto the finished blanket. Could turn out really cool, or really, really awfully. But I told them I'd try. I also thought about doing a simple bold stripe pattern using camo-type colors: light and dark olive, tan, brown, etc... Any other ideas? Thanks!

LMA Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I saw this in the store and thought it was pretty. I was able to find it online. http://www.bernat.com/product.php?LGC=camouflage If you look at the page I linked, there is one called Baby Camo, which may suit both the parents' and your tastes.

Its actually a pretty nice yarn. I have used it to make a baby blanket and it knits up quite nicely. I purchased my yarn at Michaels (arts & crafts store).

Aoife Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 You can also try some of the WAHMs on Hyenacart.com if there is no Camo listed I am sure you can find someone to custom dye for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalicoKat Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I used camo green "I Love This Yarn!" from Hobby Lobby recently. It's very soft, not the scratchy acrylic yarn feel to it. I made a sweater for my son (picture on Ravelry.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about the juxtaposition of a military green camo pattern and natural fibers just made me chuckle. Not a slam against military. It just made me look twice. The Bernat yarn as knitted in the sample does look a lot like the digital camo patterns that have come into use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corraleno Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I recently made DS a camo scarf from Bamboospun yarn ~ it's incredibly soft, and it's 75% natural bamboo fiber. It's not currently available on the Hobby Lobby website, but if you can get ahold of it, it's wonderful stuff! Bamboo is naturally antibacterial, so it would be perfect for a baby project. http://shop.hobbylobby.com/store/item.aspx?dep=20&cat=68&subcat=50&IsOnSale=0&IsFeatured=0&IsNew=0&ItemId=102040 Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
