Copplestone Baby Blanket

Discover the beauty of mosaic or slip-stitch knitting with this adorable baby blanket pattern! This unique design features an interesting pattern where only one color is used per row, while the remaining stitches are simply slipped. The fundamental technique utilized is garter stitch, eliminating purling altogether, which results in a thick, warm, and cozy blanket perfect for infants. The pattern offers two versatile options for borders. You can create the blanket as depicted, with solid borders added after completing the main body of the blanket, or for a more seamless approach, you can opt to knit the borders simultaneously, which will yield stylish striped borders (not shown in the current depiction). The pattern is meticulously crafted to cater to all preferences, as it includes both written instructions and a visual chart, allowing you to choose the method that suits you best.

This baby blanket pattern is ideal for beginners with a bit of knitting experience. It employs only basic knit and slip stitches, making it an excellent project to build your skills. However, if you prefer a blanket with solid borders, you will need to learn how to pick up stitches, adding a valuable technique to your knitting repertoire. Get started on this delightful baby blanket and create a cherished keepsake that is both functional and visually appealing. Perfect for gifting or adding a touch of homemade warmth to any nursery!
