Knit this soft, sweet blanket for a baby in your life. Whether it is for your own child, a grandchild, charity or a coworker’s new baby, this knits up easy.

I recommend inexpensive Caron Simply Soft yarn (though any medium weight yarn will do) and size 7 (4.5 mm) & 8 (5 mm) 29 inch circular needles (or needles for gauge).

New and seasoned knitters alike will enjoy this pattern

Pattern is at a beginner skill level (Cast on, bind off, knit, purl), and seasoned knitters can create this over coffee with a friend, while watching TV, or even on a crowded bus. It’s an easy pattern to remember.

The pattern includes a striped and solid blanket, quick tips, and colorful photos.
