Our Garter Stitch Baby Blanket design is for absolute beginners. In this free design, you’ll learn how to cast on stitches, knit, and bind off stitches. And some people choose to use the blanket as a pet bed, in case you’re looking to give your furry friend a special place to sleep.

When accessed online, the design links directly to our skills videos to teach you how to knit, step by step.

It uses super bulky weight yarn, so it will knit up quickly. The model photo is in Erika Knight Maxi Wool in Iced Gem.
