Knit a whole herd of dinky dinosaurs with this adorable baby blanket knitting pattern, which makes a perfect gift for a baby shower or new baby.

This easy to knit blanket is created using just knit and purl stitches, making a striking design that is ideal for beginner knitters or more experienced knitters looking for a quick project.

This blanket can be knitted in any shade (images use PaintBox Yarns Aran in Spearmint). The recommended worsted / aran weight yarn also makes this a relatively quick knit.

The dinosaur baby blanket can be knitted in any size from buggy upwards. The illustrated instructions include notes on how to add as many dinosaurs as you like to the width or length.

The dinosaurs featured include all kids’ favourites: Diplodocus, Tyrannosaurus and Stegosaurus.
