Knitting Cuddly Soft Blanket Pattern | Baby Blanket Knitting pattern

Cuddly Soft Baby Blanket Knitting Pattern available on Ravelry and Etsy

The Cuddly Soft Baby Blanket is a beginner level baby blanket knitting pattern and the first baby blanket that I ever knit. Most of the rows are knit, some are purled, and there is a lace row of YO’s.

Simple and easy, it has texture and style. New mommies especially love this cuddly and soft baby blanket!

This baby blanket pattern is stroller sized but it is easily adapted to larger sizes. Simply cast on more stitches and knit it as long as you like.

It is a very easy to understand and versatile pattern.

Rated on Ravelry as easy, it may be customized by using different color yarn for each 14 row repeat. Use self striping yarn for a very easy variation of this baby blanket!

I often knit this blanket with worsted or aran weight yarn with a larger needle than recommended for the yarn because it yields a nice, airy blanket.

For this project I used 4 skeins of Hobby Lobby’s “I Love This Yarn” in Confetti Grey.

In this post you will find yarn and needle suggestions for this fun knitting pattern.

Yarn

For this project I used Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn. And oh how I love it! It is worsted weight, super soft and it is great for young parents who enjoy throwing the blankets in and out of the washer and dryer without worry. It simply gets softer and softer with wash and wear.
