Garter Stitch Comfort Blanket
This pattern is for a square baby blanket in garter stitch with an eyelet edging. That’s it. Simple in design, it shows off those special yarns perfectly.
This pattern would be perfect for just-no-longer-beginners who want to pick up a pattern with the beginnings of lace.

Any DK weight yarn. Sample shown knitted using approximately 200g (450yds) of DK weight Superfine Alpaca yarn (70% Alpaca/30% BFL) from UK Alpacas. Colour way used is “Parchment”

5.00mm (circulars are probably going to be easier as you end up knitting across the diagonal of the blanket)
Tapestry needle for weaving in the ends
