Tides Baby Blanket

The Tides Baby Blanket is a beautifully crafted ribbed stitch blanket featuring an engaging cable cast on, a cable cast off, and elegant garter stitch borders. This versatile blanket can easily be adjusted for size by adding the 16-stitch pattern repeat, making it perfect for various baby and toddler needs.

Designed with little ones in mind, the Tides Baby Blanket is ideal for infants and toddlers alike. The unique combination of tactile stitches provides a delightful sensory experience for your little person as they grow and explore their surroundings. The wavy ribs evoke the gentle tides and waves of the Gulf of Mexico, creating a soothing, natural aesthetic. Plus, the reversible pattern doubles the visual appeal, ensuring that both sides are just as charming.

For this pattern, I’ve used two skeins of Madeline Tosh’s Favorite Pair colorway, alternating the colors to create soft, inviting stripes that beautifully complement the overall design. This method not only enhances the blanket's appearance but also maintains interest as you knit.

The stitch pattern for the Tides Baby Blanket is inspired by Wendy Bernard’s The All Around Stitch Dictionary, allowing you to create intricate textures and a unique look. I highly recommend selecting a yarn with excellent stitch definition, warmth, and lightness, making it the perfect choice for a cozy and comforting baby blanket.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this pattern is both enjoyable and rewarding. With the added benefit of being customizable in size, the Tides Baby Blanket is a wonderful project that you and your little one will cherish for years to come.
