Free Baby Blankets
Baby Blankets are a joy to knit and they’re even more fun to gift! This coupled with my firm belief that every baby should have a hand knit baby blanket, I offer many of my patterns for free. You’ll find these patterns linked below with short descriptions. One thing to note with my baby blanket patterns: I don’t use lace stitches or cables that will create holes because little fingers can get stuck. I tend to stick with simple stitches that create a beautiful blanket. My yarn suggestions are often synthetic as they make for easier wash and care for parents.
Andalusian Baby Blanket:
The Andalusian baby blanket uses strategically placed purl stitches to create a delicate texture and a beautiful baby blanket. This blanket’s border also uses knit and purls to create a durable yet soft frame for this stitch. If you are looking for a quick blanket or an easy pattern this is a great free option for you.
