Best part is that it is a beginner friendly making it great for anyone to master. Plus, if you work it up in stripes you can use up your odds and ends.

When I designed this baby blanket, the snow just started melting and the fresh grass shoots were showing up in places. I wanted the Spring Vibes Baby Blanket to reflect just that. The white and grey blanket reminds me of the melted snow and the green, busy edging resembles the fresh grass. For this blanket, I use 2 strands of double knit yarn held together, one strand of white and one of grey, and the granny stripe stitch for the pattern. For the border, I use just one strand of double knit yarn in green and the layered scallops border.

The Sleepy Blocks Blankie is a cute and cuddly free baby blanket pattern worked up using colorful variegated yarn.

Since this pattern uses a variegated, chunky yarn and a simple 2-row repeat for a quick pattern that will fly right off the hook!
