Celebrate a new arrival with this charming and customizable baby blanket, designed to be both a treasured keepsake and a cozy comfort. The blanket is worked in five horizontal panels, each separated by a delicate lace ribbon motif that adds lightness and elegance to the piece.
The highlight of the design is the bottom panel, which features the baby’s birth year flanked by cute heart motifs. The pattern includes number charts from 0-9, allowing you to easily personalize this section with any year.
The remaining four panels showcase simple yet beautiful textured stitch patterns, including softly raised purl motifs and lovely heart designs, creating visual interest while remaining easy to knit.
This pattern includes written instructions for years 2025 and 2026 options. An ability to read charts is needed to customize it with a different year.
