NOLACE baby blanket

Introducing a beautifully textured baby blanket that knits up quickly using superwash bulky yarn and large needles—perfect for those new to knitting! This pattern is ideal for boys because it features a practical design with no lace, making it a great choice for anyone seeking a stylish yet uncomplicated gift. The blanket’s center section is worked back and forth, then bound off with ease, ensuring a smooth knitting experience. Once the main section is completed, the stunning slip stitch tweed border is added, which is worked in-the-round on stitches picked up around the blanket’s edge using a long circular needle (60" cable).

For the best results, we recommend choosing a light shade for your Main Color (MC), as this will beautifully showcase the lovely textures of the blanket. For added flair, opt for a bright or wild color for the contrasting stripes (CC). This baby blanket is perfect for any babies on your gift list, providing warmth and comfort in a visually appealing design!

The sample blanket is knit using WOTA Bulky Superwash yarn, utilizing 4 skeins (548 yards) of Main Color (Dove) and 1 skein (137 yards) of Contrasting Color (Persimmon). An alternative yarn option is provided below for your convenience. Whether you are a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this pattern is both fun and rewarding, making it the ideal project for baby showers and gifts.
