Striped Baby Blanket
Looking for the perfect knitted baby gift for a memorable baby shower? This adorable knitted baby blanket is sure to impress all attendees and will become a cherished keepsake. Crafted with care, this blanket is worked flat in a delightful garter stitch featuring charming stripes on one side, giving it a playful yet sophisticated flair. After completing the initial section, you will pick up stitches along the side to change the direction of the work, creating an engaging knitting experience. The project is finished off with a beautiful I-cord edge that adds a polished look all the way around. Feel free to unleash your creativity by playing with vibrant rainbow colors or opt for a single contrasting color to make the blanket stand out. Best of all, the pattern is reversible, allowing you to showcase both sides as you cuddle your little one.
Finished Measurements: An ample 33” (84 cm) square, making it ideal for babies and toddlers.
Suggested Yarn: For this special project, we recommend using KnitPicks Comfy, a luxurious worsted weight yarn made from 75% Pima Cotton and 25% Acrylic for softness and durability. You'll need the following yarn amounts: 4 skeins of the main color (MC) Whisker (24800) and 1 skein each of these contrasting colors (C1-C7): Fiesta Red (28010), Carrot (25771), Honey (28011), Peapod (24801), Celestial (25314), Vinca (25320), and Hydrangea (28012).
Yardage estimates are as follows: approximately 430 yards (393 meters) for the main color, and about 60 yards (55 meters) each for the contrasting colors (C1-C7). This means you can easily mix and match your palette to suit any occasion or nursery theme.
Don’t forget, the pictured adorable toy rabbit pattern is sold separately. You can find the link to add it to your collection here. Start your baby blanket project today and create a cozy, thoughtful gift that will be treasured for years to come!
