Baby blanket stars

If you’re looking for the perfect baby shower gift, a hand-knitted baby blanket is one of the best options a knitter can offer! This adorable baby blanket knitting pattern is available in two convenient sizes: 75 x 100 cm (30 x 40 inches) and 75 x 80 cm (30 x 32 inches), making it ideal for wrapping up a newborn or decorating a nursery. Plus, our detailed knitting pattern is available in English, ensuring that knitters from around the world can create this delightful piece.

The design features a charming combination of alternating strips of double moss stitch, creating a textured background, and strips adorned with four whimsical stars made using the knit bobble technique. The larger size, 75 x 100 cm / 30 x 40 inches, includes four rows of four stars for an eye-catching effect, while the smaller size, 75 x 80 cm / 30 x 32 inches, includes three rows of four stars. This playful design is sure to become a cherished keepsake for any family!

This intermediate-level knitting pattern is suitable for knitters with a bit of experience. The stitches are relatively straightforward; however, the bobble stitch can be a bit tricky if you're not familiar with it. If you’ve never knitted bobbles before, we recommend practicing this stitch beforehand to achieve tight, neat bobbles that enhance the overall look of the blanket.

For this project, you will need the following materials:

• - Circular knitting needles, 80 cm in length, size 6 (US) / 8 (UK) = 4 mm to accommodate your stitches comfortably
• - DK / Light worsted yarn, which provides the perfect weight for a soft and cozy baby blanket

This beautiful blanket is knitted flat from the bottom to the top, including the edge, ensuring a clean and polished finish. Gift this handmade treasure at a baby shower, or create it for your own little one to snuggle up in. With its intricate textures and joyful star motifs, this hand-knitted baby blanket is certain to make a lasting impression!
