This nautical and sailboat themed baby blanket features sailboats in the middle with sections of stockinette, garter stitch and a textured stitch that makes you think of a day at the beach! The pattern is written for stroller size, but could be made larger for crib size by casting on in increments of 21 stitches. All stitches are knit and purl.
The Sailboat chart is also written out in easy row by row directions for those who do not like a chart.

I’m knitting this blanket in soft yellows, aquas, greens and blues which are reminiscent of the pretty beaches and aqua water of Siesta Key, Florida.
