Knitting: Baby Blanket
A soft and cozy baby blanket, worked flat with DK weight yarn. A seed stitch border helps to keep the blanket laying flat, while the stockinette stitch body works up quickly. Thin, gentle stripes are enough to add contrast, but colors can easily be swapped out for more contrast.
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
Simply patterned socks with complimenting swirls in either direction. Swirls can be made to go in opposite ways or can be done for both socks to swirl in the same direction. Socks are knit toe-up. A mitered heel adds to the minimal design. Great pattern for beginners and the swirl pattern is easy enough to memorize.
