Orchid Baby Blanket

Orchid Baby Blanket by Deb Buckingham

If you're looking for an adorable and functional baby blanket that’s both quick and easy to knit, the Orchid Baby Blanket is the perfect project for you! This charming baby blanket is uniquely crafted on the bias, showcasing a lovely design that adds flair to any nursery. With simple knit stitches throughout, this blanket is accessible for knitters of all skill levels, making it a great choice for both beginners and seasoned knitters.

This delightful and cozy blanket allows you to express your creativity by using different colors to tailor your own favorite color scheme. For this pattern, I’ve chosen a soft and chunky weight yarn that not only speeds up the knitting process but also results in a warm and cuddly finish. To finish off the edges, I incorporated a fun crocheted border using a super bulky fiber, adding an extra touch of charm.
