Knitting the Cuddly Soft
Baby Blanket Pattern
Here is a simple, textured, squishy, soft and cuddly blanket to knit for the little one in your life! If you can knit, purl, YO and K2tog, this pattern will be extremely easy for you.
Begin with a garter stitch border, then follow the easily written pattern where you will knit most rows and purl a few too. This knitting pattern is simple to learn and memorize and can be knit while watching TV and even reading! This is the pattern I often take to my knitting club because I can chat away while knitting this without worrying about making a mistake.

Needles
For my blankets I often recommend Knit Picks Needles. These are the Mosaic Options Needles that I just love. The wood is warm in my hands and the joins are smooth.
