Lara baby blanket

Peekaboo is not just a fun game; it becomes even more delightful when your knitting project features eyelets that allow for playful peeking! This gender-neutral yet beautifully light and lacy blanket combines intricate movement and texture into a surprisingly simple stitch pattern. Perfect for both boys and girls, this versatile design makes it an ideal gift for baby showers or newborn cuddles.

If you’ve never attempted the s2kp stitch (sometimes referred to as sl2-k1-psso), this blanket is your perfect opportunity to master it! To execute this unique stitch, position your right needle into the first two stitches as if you’re going to knit them together, then slip them off the left needle. Proceed to knit the next stitch as you normally would. Using the tip of your left needle, carefully lift and pass over the knit stitch the two stitches that you had previously slipped. In doing this, you have successfully decreased two stitches. What makes the s2kp stitch special is that the middle stitch of the three creates a lovely effect by sitting neatly on top of the other two, resulting in a smooth and visually appealing line of stitches.

This charming blanket, like most of my knitted creations, is available in two convenient sizes. The smaller size is perfect for bassinets, car seats, or as a comforting “lovey” for your little one to snuggle with. The full-size option is wonderfully suited for cribs or as a cozy floor blanket, providing warmth and comfort for all your baby’s adventures.

Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just starting, this Peekaboo blanket pattern adds both style and functionality to your knitting repertoire. Enjoy the blend of texture and simplicity as you create a cherished keepsake for the little ones in your life!
