Patchwork Baby Blanket Knitting Pattern

This knitting pattern is for a beautiful textured patchwork baby blanket.

Inspired by my daughter on the birth of her son, Ernie in October 2025, this practical blanket is knitted in six strips before being sewn together and finished with an applied I-cord edging. A YouTube tutorial link is included within the pattern for knitters who are new to knitting an I-cord.

Using ten colours of DK yarn, this project is ideal for stash busting while creating a beautiful handmade blanket for a new baby.
