Knitted Newborn Blanket
Guest Author - Susan Kramer

This guest article is written by Susan Kramer the BellaOnline.com Doll Making Editor

When the occasion comes up that you would like to knit a soft blanket for a newborn I have this pattern of my own to share with you.




The finished measurements are 45 inches by 45 inches. It takes approximately 8 ounces of baby yarn. I use long plastic 6mm knitting needles. The pattern is reversible.

- Cast on 146 stitches.

- For the entire blanket knit the 4 beginning and end stitches of every row to form a border.

- Rows 1 - 4: knit on both sides.

- Then follow this pattern till ready to form the final border of 4 knitted rows:

8 rows knit
4 rows purl
4 rows knit
4 rows purl

Remember to begin and end every row with 4 knitting stitches!

While this is an easy pattern to follow, I think you'll agree it is an interesting pattern to look at and being reversible is a plus!
