This unisex knitting blanket pattern features an engaging design that combines a simple mix of eyelet increases and decreases, creating a delightful wavy texture that is both easy and fun to knit. The best part? The border is seamlessly integrated into the main pattern, eliminating the need for any sewing!

For my version, I chose Hayfield Baby Bonus DK, an easy-care acrylic yarn that’s perfect for soft and cozy blankets. I used a lovely color palette of White, Plum, Elephant, and Dove. However, you can easily substitute these colors with any yarn of your choice to suit your personal style—just make sure to check the tension and yardage carefully to achieve the desired results.

Regarding yarn quantities, here's what you will need: for the Small size, you’ll require 100g/280m/306yds of four different colors. For the Medium and Large sizes, you will need 200g/560m/612yds of the first color and 100g/280m/306yds of the other three colors. This makes it convenient to mix and match, giving you plenty of creative freedom.

To get started on this lovely unisex blanket, you will need 4mm knitting needles. While straight needles are suitable for the smallest size, it's advisable to use circular needles for the larger sizes. This will help accommodate all the stitches easily and ensure a smooth knitting experience.

This blanket pattern is not only perfect for beginners but also a fun project for experienced knitters looking for a relaxing knit. Whether you’re crafting a thoughtful gift for a baby shower, a cozy addition to your home, or a stylish accessory for any living space, this blanket is sure to be a cherished favorite.
