All at Sea

Ahoy there, knitting enthusiasts! Dive into the world of cozy comfort with this beautifully simple nautical blanket pattern featuring waves crafted using just basic knit and purl stitches. This delightful accessory is perfect for any nursery and makes for an excellent baby gift for a baby shower. The best part? It’s all worked in one piece, eliminating the need to sew on a border after knitting is complete, making it a time-saving project for busy knitters.

With just 10mm (US 15) needles and super chunky yarn, this blanket comes together quickly and easily. We've provided instructions for three delightful sizes to cater to various needs, along with specific measurements and yarn requirements:

• Small: 62 x 61cm (25 x 24") - Requires 400g/324m (356yds)
• Medium: 74 x 73cm (29 x 29") - Requires 500g/405m (445yds)
• Large: 86 x 84cm (34 x 33") - Requires 700g/567m (623yds)

For this project, I chose King Cole Big Value Super Chunky, a fantastic, easy-care acrylic yarn that delivers warmth and style. While the pattern is optimized for this yarn, it is versatile enough to accommodate most super chunky yarns. Just be sure to check the tension and yardage carefully if you opt for an alternative, ensuring your finished blanket retains its lovely waves and cozy feel.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting your knitting journey, this nautical blanket pattern is a wonderful addition to your collection. Knit your way to a charming baby accessory that’s not only fun to make but also a cherished keepsake for years to come! So gather your supplies and set sail on your next knitting adventure today!
