Littlest Weaver Baby Blanket
After designing the Dream Weaver Baby Blanket for my first little nephew, I felt inspired to do the same for baby number two — “the littlest Weaver.” As with with his brother’s blanket, this pattern just begged to include the basket weave stitch in response to the baby’s last name.
A new twist on basket weave, interspersed with cables, the Littlest Weaver is an easy, cozy gift just waiting to be knit for the next bundle-of-joy in your life!
Pattern Tips:
-
This pattern is written to be knit with blockable wool, which will result in a nice, drapey fabric once blocked. If you prefer to use acrylic, you may consider knitting with a larger needle, to achieve a similar drape.
-
Customize your blanket by using a different weight.
-
If you’re finding that your blanket is shorter than you prefer, add extra repeats of the cable sections until you reach a more desired length. Adjust your top border so that it still falls in with the basket weave pattern.
Final Size: Approx. 36” × 24”
Techniques Used: knit, purl, 2×2 cable
Sample knit: Malabrigo Rios, 541 yds, size 7 (4.5m) needles.
