Baby Blanket Giraffe

Welcome to the world of knitting with Geronimo, the adorable giraffe blanket that will cradle your baby's sweet dreams! This charming knitted blanket promises to bring warmth and comfort, lovingly crafted with knit and purl stitches. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, this easy-to-follow pattern ensures that your creation is both delightful and cozy. Enjoy the relaxing process of knitting as you watch Geronimo come to life!

The blanket is designed using the stockinette stitch, which is a fundamental technique perfect for all skill levels. For your reference, the stitch gauge is 17 stitches = 10 cm in width and 24 rows = 10 cm in height. Using this gauge, your finished Geronimo blanket will measure approximately 77 cm wide and 83 cm long, making it the ideal size for a crib or stroller.

To create this lovely giraffe blanket, you will need the following materials: 1 ball of Rico Design BASIC Super Big aran yarn, composed of 80% polyacrylic and 20% wool. The yarn has a length of 880m per 400g, and for this project, my yarn consumption was precisely 275g, though this might vary slightly based on your unique knitting style. You may also opt for alternative yarns with similar yardage, such as Paintbox Yarns Simply Aran, to achieve the same delightful results.

Don’t forget to gather the necessary tools, including circular knitting needles size 4 (80cm), a sewing needle for any finishing touches, and scissors to snip your yarn. With easy instructions and the right materials, you'll have endless fun knitting Geronimo the giraffe blanket that your baby will cherish for years to come. Share the joy of knitting and make precious memories with this heartwarming project!
