Baby Blanket in Sage Color
Introducing our exquisite baby blanket knitting pattern, designed to showcase a beautiful combination of two stitches that elevate every detail: the elegant "Diamond Stitch" enhanced with simple cables along the borders, and the cozy, textured "Large Basket Weave Stitch" featured prominently in the central section. This delightful blend of techniques not only creates a visually stunning piece but also results in a wonderfully warm and soft blanket that makes a perfect gift for newborns, whether it's for a baby girl or a baby boy.
The finished blanket measures an adorable 34 inches in length and 27 inches in width, making it the ideal size for cribs, stroller rides, or tummy time. We recommend using #4 (10 ply) medium worsted or aran yarn for the best results. For this pattern, I used approximately 620 yards (or 2 skeins) of Premier Yarns Basix Worsted yarn, known for its exceptional softness and comfort, making it a superb choice for baby items.
To achieve the perfect texture, the gauge is set at 4 stitches per 1 inch when working in stockinette stitch. This ensures your blanket will have just the right amount of stretch and coziness for your little one.
The difficulty level of this pattern is classified as intermediate, making it an excellent project for knitters looking to enhance their skills while creating something special. With clear instructions and helpful tips, this baby blanket pattern is not only a great way to showcase your knitting talents but also a treasured keepsake that will be cherished for years to come.
Whether you are knitting for a personal gift or for charity, this delightful baby blanket will surely be a hit. Start crafting your unique masterpiece today with our easy-to-follow pattern!
