Little Hearts

Introducing a charming knitting pattern for a cozy small blanket, perfectly designed for a car seat or a Moses basket. This lovely blanket measures approximately 55x65 cm, making it an ideal size that doesn't require folding multiple times, which can lead to overheating. This thoughtful design ensures both comfort and safety for your little one.

You can knit this blanket in a single color for a sleek, modern look or choose two contrasting colors for a more playful design, adding a touch of personality. For this project, I recommend purchasing two balls of yarn—either two balls of the same color or one ball in your chosen main color and another ball in a contrasting shade for the trim. This versatility allows you to express your unique style while crafting a beautiful piece for your baby.

While I specified using 3mm needles for this pattern, you might find that using 4mm needles with DK yarn works better for your knitting style. Please remember that my gauge and the finished size are both measured after washing and blocking, so keep this in mind as you work.

For the yarn, I suggest using baby-friendly options such as acrylic yarn, especially baby acrylic DK, or a cotton/bamboo blend DK. Feel free to experiment with any DK yarn that you enjoy using for your baby knitwear. Choosing the right yarn will enhance the blanket’s softness and durability, ensuring it withstands everyday wear.

This knitting pattern is for personal use only, allowing you to create a special item for your baby or as a thoughtful gift for a new parent. Embrace your creativity and make a cozy blanket that will be cherished for years to come!
