Rectangles Baby Blanket Knitting Pattern

Discover a simple yet stunning pattern to create a beautifully textured blanket that’s perfect for beginners! This delightful design uses just two basic stitches: knit and purl, making it an ideal project for those new to knitting. Whether you’re looking to create a cozy lap blanket, a lovely gift for a new parent, or simply want to enhance your knitting skills, this pattern is easy to follow and rewarding.

For this project, you will need 5 mm knitting needles (UK size) or size 8 (USA) that are at least 40 cm long. I opted for 80 cm long circular needles for added comfort and ease while knitting. The choice of needle type can make a substantial difference, especially for larger pieces!

You will also need 250 grams of DK yarn or worsted weight yarn; I recommend using the soft and colorful Stylecraft Special for Babies yarn, which is both gentle on the skin and easy to work with. This yarn choice ensures a beautiful finish to your final piece.

Once completed, your approximately finished blanket will measure around 37 x 26 inches, making it a lovely size for little ones or as a decorative throw. Get ready to immerse yourself in the soothing rhythm of knitting and enjoy the satisfaction of creating your own cozy masterpiece!
