The Large Squares Baby Blanket is a worsted weight baby blanket that is knit in one piece. 

Although it looks complicated, is quite easy if you have some experience with knits and purls.

The blanket is worked seamlessly, in one piece.

Pattern consists of a grid pattern of stockinette stitch squares with garter stitch centers, surrounded by garter stitch borders on all sides.


The garter stitch borders are knit along with the blanket, so there is no finishing required (other than weaving in ends, and blocking).

Finished size is approximately 24” x 30”.

Materials include 600 yds worsted weight yarn, size 5 and size 7 circular needles (24-32” length).

Circular needles are required to accommodate the width of the blanket.

Recommended gauge is 4.5 stitches = 1” in stockinette stitch, using the larger needles.

Change needle size as necessary, to achieve correct gauge and/or a fabric that you like.
Since this is a blanket, exact gauge is not critical. It will, however, affect the finished size and amount of yarn used.

Pattern includes clearly written instructions.
Skills required include casting on, knitting, purling, and binding off.

Enjoy knitting this pattern, and please post photos of your finished blankets!
