Easy Baby Blanket - basket weave pattern
Welcome to our delightful knitting pattern for a traditional baby blanket, perfect for beginners and an ideal gift for baby showers. This lovely design features a classic 'basket-weave' pattern, complemented by chunky textured borders that add a touch of charm. It's just right for wrapping up your little one in warmth and comfort, whether they're nestled in a pram, moses basket, bouncy chair, or carrycot.
This baby blanket pattern is fully reversible, ensuring that it looks beautiful from every angle. You can choose to knit it in two versatile sizes: a cozy square measuring 75cm x 75cm (30" x 30") or a snug rectangle at 75cm x 100cm (30" x 40"). Whether you prefer a squarer shape for swaddling or a longer design for laying, this pattern has you covered!
The downloadable knitting pattern includes two convenient versions: one for knitting in a single piece using a circular needle, and another for crafting in three pieces with straight needles. This flexibility allows you to choose the method that suits your preference and skill level best.
NEEDLES: To bring this beautiful project to life, you'll need 6mm/US size 10 needles. Depending on your version choice, you can use either 33cm/13" straight needles (for the three-piece blanket) or an 80cm/30" circular needle (for the one-piece blanket).
YARN: This lovely baby blanket requires chunky yarn, amounting to 480m for the square size and 530m for the rectangular size. For a beautiful finish, we recommend using DMC XL Natura, which provides a soft touch and vibrant colors for your creation.
