Sunny Baby Blanket

This is another bably blanket pattern that I knit frequently. Baby Afghans are quick, especially if it just uses knits and purls!

Like my other favorite baby blanket patterns, this has no holes for tiny fingers to get caught in! I have only ever made this blanket in pink (due to too many of my friends and family having girls!)

And again, my yarn of choice? Bernat Softee Baby yarn

My best photo example of this blanket (sorry there's a baby in the way ;) )

Pattern:

Cast On 132 stitches

Rows 1-16: knit

Row 17: Knit 8, [Purl 8, Knit 4]x9, Purl 8, Knit 8

Row 18: Knit

Rows 19-27: Alternate between rows 17 & 18

Rows 28-33: Knit

Repeat Rows 17-33 11 times more (so you end up with 12 rows of blocks)

Knit 16 rows for border.

Bind off and weave in loose ends.

Coming up next, one more frequent baby blanket pattern ;-)

Moss Stitch Diamonds Baby Blanket Knitting Pattern

Recently, I finished a baby blanket using the Diamond Baby Blanket Pattern by Barbara Breiter.

This is another baby blanket pattern that I've done twice because I've liked it so much. Again, once for my niece, and once for a friend (although different niece and different friend!) It, like the last pattern I shared, does not have holes. This blanket is a great option for babies because it is visually flattering and has a nice texture for babies to feel.

This project is great for the beginner to intermediate knitter because it only uses knit and purl stitches and it is a manageable size (compared to large afghans).

I do not have a great picture of either of these projects of mine, but her website with the pattern has wonderful pictures that show the double moss stitch pattern as well as the effects of the knits and purls that make this blanket reversible.

One photo of mine in action:

For all of my baby blankets I use Bernat Softee Baby yarn.
