Brenda's Basic Baby Blanket
This versatile basic baby blanket was
designed to be a portable project for creating
a seamless baby blanket on the large gauge
round loom using the following stitch pattern
and techniques:
• Double flat knit stitch
• Double chain cast on
• Knitting using peg doubling technique
• Double basic bind off
• Controlled tension during BO
While designed for the large gauge looms,
these techniques are easily adaptable to any
knitting loom. The addition of edging,
embroidery or other embellishment will make
each blanket your own unique design.
SKILL LEVEL: Easy+
SIZE: Blanket pictured is 32 in X 28 inches
(82 cm X 71 cm)
Gauge is based on using #5 Bulky yarn, 36-
peg Knifty Knitter loom and the double flat
knit stitch. To ensure your blanket is the
desired size, please knit a gauge swatch with
the loom, yarn and stitch you will be using for
your personal project.
