This blanket makes a cherished gift for that precious newborn.

Depending on the colors you choose, it can be for a boy or a girl. The instructions include mitered corners, which makes easy work when joining the 4 side panels. Gauge for this blanket isn’t important.

The secret to success with working the 4 side panels is to faithfully use stitch markers.

I have knitted this blanket in both fingering weight and sport weight yarn. Both work up beautifully. Some of my blankets have been all one color; others the center square plain and the side panels another color; and still others the center square and the side panels all one color).

Any mom will LOVE this as a gift.
