Wavy Rib Baby Blanket
IMPORTANT NOTE: This pattern is available for free on my youtube channel. But, if you want the printable PDF version you can find that here.
The Wavy Rib Baby Blanket pattern is made for beginners. If you know how to cast on, knit and purl you can make this blanket. I have a link in the pattern to my full video tutorial (available for free on my youtube channel: The Blue Mouse Knits) that teaches you the steps for the stitch pattern, how to bind off, and how to weave in your ends. This baby blanket pattern uses a really easy and fun knit stitch (which happens to be one of my favorites), it creates this wavy rib look, but is nothing more than an easy combination of knits and purls. Simple, but so beautiful. This blanket pattern comes in 2 sizes so you can make a small lovey size or a more average size baby blanket.

YARN - DK weight Yarn (sometimes called #3 light size yarn):
