Looking for an easy, mindless baby blanket with lots of texture, stretch, and is perfect for a baby shower gift? This will be your favorite baby blanket pattern. (It’s my favorite!)

The main textured stitch pattern is just a one-row repeat, making this pattern perfect to catch onto quickly and to do even while watching TV in the evening. You don’t have to worry about counting stitches across your row. And, the pattern is very easily adjustable in width and length, which is explained in the pattern notes.

It requires approx. 1,820 yds of a DK weight acrylic yarn and finished size is 41x34.5”. The yarn pictured is a cake yarn, creating those stripes of color. But, this pattern would look great with any color yarn.

Pattern also requires a size US-I 9/5.50mm hook, tapestry needle, and scissors.
