Baby blankets are my go-to for baby gift knitting. You don’t have to worry about a baby being too big or too small to use them, and parents can always use another blanket, no matter what climate they live in or season in which they were born.
60 More Quick Baby Blankets
Even better, the patterns all use either 128 superwash
It’s hard to really cover a book with 60 patterns in it in just a few words, but the odds are good if you like knitting baby blankets you’re going to find some things you want to knit here. (You can check out all the projects on Ravelry.)
I will say, however, that this book is so cute even my husband found himself rifling through it (he recommended the Covered in Cables pattern by Katherine Hunt as one that would look great in a throw size in our living room).
There are cables, lace and colorwork galore, including patterns using whales, a ladybug, a fox and sheep (of course). There are large-scale patterns in houndstooth, checkerboard, chevron, pinwheel and X and O patterns, simple Garter Stitch stripes, honeycomb patterns,a southwest motif, a stitched rainbow and more.
It’s a really cute book and perfect for anyone who knits baby blankets for charity, or who has a lot of grandkids or friend who are having babies.
If you take a peek I’d love to know which patterns catch your eye!
