This minimalistic, simple baby blanket pattern from Lily B’s has been created with the beginner knitter in mind.

The stitches have been purposely limited to just knit and purl and an easy two row repeat so that even those that are only starting on their knitting journey will be able to master this cozy blanket.

I’ve included 10 blanket sizes, 3 photo prop layer sizes and 2 photo prop wrap sizes. Plus, I’ve included instructions for you to create your own custom sized blanket, prop layer or wrap. There’s truly something for everyone in this pattern!

This knitting pattern is worked up on 5mm (US8) needles using worsted weight yarn.

The blankets and wraps you see in the images were worked up with easily accessible acrylic yarn from the craft store (Yarnspirations Bernat Premium). I want you to be able to get started on this project quickly.

note: I choose to knit my blankets using acrylic yarn because the blankets can be tossed in the washer and dryer for easy, fuss free clean up and they just get softer and softer with each wash. But, you can work yours up in a natural fiber, of course, if that’s what you prefer.
