Update 4/2/2015
I’ve reduced the number of stitches to cast-on, making the blanket a little smaller and “baby-sized”

This baby blanket features a repeating “snowflake stitch.” Any yarn and gauge can be used but I’d recommend using a machine-washable yarn, as babies can sometimes cause rather big messes…
It’s double-knit for extra-warmth (and extra-quick knitting time).
I used Bernat Baby yarn in Soft Lilac.
