60 More Quick Baby Blankets review

Betty is getting this one!

Last week I told you about the great new book 60 More Quick Baby Blankets, and this week I’m giving you a chance to grab a copy.

If you have babies on your knit list, or like to knit for little ones for charity, this book has a great collection of patterns for a variety of techniques and skill levels.

If you’d like a chance to get a copy of this book, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, Oct. 22. I’d love to know if you have a favorite pattern for baby blankets (mine is a diamond brocade pattern I first knit from a pattern shared by my grandmother when I was in high school).

Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck!

  4. This book would be perfect for me! I’ve knit or crocheted a different pattern for every baby I’ve made a blanket for. No specific favorite as of yet.

  5. Sarah, I bought this book after your review last week and I want to tell everyone that it has some really great patterns in it. I see many in here that I want to make, most of them larger for around the house, but right now it’s so hard to choose. If you like to give baby blankets (or bigger) for gifts, this will be a good book for you – and Christmas is just around the corner!

  7. So many babies and so little time. I love to give handmade gifts to friends and work family when a little one is expected. New ideas are always welcome. My favourite isn’t a blanket, it’s a cocoon. I found a very simple one that I’ve modified and everyone loves them.

  8. This would be a great book to have for the grand babies and great grand babies! Thank you for the opportunity to win.

  11. I enjoy knitting for babies and toddlers, and have gifts on hand for new arrivals. I certainly would enjoy using new patterns for baby blankets (or bigger sizes for nappers!)

  12. I’m a senior and I like to knit and crochet baby blankets for grandbabies of friends also the little gift shop of our local little hospital. This book would be so wonderful to have!

  13. I tend to make classic cabled blankets for babies but the patterns in this book look so fun! I KNOW my new great-nephew could use a new blanket or two for the winter. Thanks for the chance to win the book!!

  14. I would love to have a book of updated patterns for baby blankets, as the one I use currently is from my mother, who was knitting blankets for all of us in the 60’s and 70’s!

  16. I love to change it up and use different patterns all the time. This book would be a great addition to my library. Thank you for a lovely giveaway.

  17. What a treasure trove this book would be for me. I love patterned blankets for babies so would be honored to win a copy of this book. Love your giveaways. TY.

  18. I just finished Daphne’s Blanket and love the look. My other favorite is Grandma’s dishcloth, many ways to alter. Thank you for the chance to win a copy.

  20. I love to knit baby blankets and because there are so many great patterns out there, I like to knit a different pattern each time I make one. Thanks for offering the book.

  22. I have a tendency to craft the one big granny square blanket, making it slowly bigger as the baby gets older before I’ve finished the gift

  24. My favorite pattern is a k4, p4, four-row checkerboard with garter stitch borders. The pattern has no wrong side. My aunt made them for my children, and I took up her torch. Recently, a friend asked me to mend the one I’d made for her son in 1979. It had a large hole about 3″ x 5″, with many broken strands! I still had some leftover yarn from that very blanket, so I made two checkerboard patches, tied off all the ends, and put a patch on both sides.

    I’ve recently won a book from you, so don’t put me in your drawing. Thanks for your blog!

  26. I love a simple garter stitch blanket as it can be squished by little fingers and bounce back .This book would be a welcome addition to our church mission projects; thank you for a great giveaway.

Christmas Sock Knitting Patterns

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
